基于化合物半导体的探测器现已达到成熟水平，可以考虑将其用于涉及 X 射线成像光学的各种天基应用。回顾了空间应用的可能范围，并讨论了这些探测器的未来关键要求。这些 X 射线探测器将在未来的天体物理学和行星任务中发挥重要作用。介绍了该机构针对 TIBr、外延 GaAs 和 CdZnTe 等材料的 X 射线探测器研究和开发计划的最新结果。 (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. 保留所有权利。
Detectors based on compound semiconductors have now reached a level of maturity, where they can be considered for use in a variety of space-based applications involving X-ray imaging optics. The possible range of space applications is reviewed and the key future requirements of these detectors are discussed. These X-ray detectors will play a major role in future astrophysics and planetary missions. Recent results on the agency's X-ray detector research and development program into such materials as TIBr, epitaxial GaAs and CdZnTe are presented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
