商品描述
Bringing together material scattered across many disciplines, Semiconductor Radiation Detectors provides readers with a consolidated source of information on the properties of a wide range of semiconductors; their growth, characterization and the fabrication of radiation sensors with emphasis on the X- and gamma-ray regimes. It explores the promise and limitations of both the traditional and new generation of semiconductors and discusses where the future in semiconductor development and radiation detection may lie.
The purpose of this book is two-fold; firstly to serve as a text book for those new to the field of semiconductors and radiation detection and measurement, and secondly as a reference book for established researchers working in related disciplines within physics and engineering.
Features:
- The only comprehensive book covering this topic
- Fully up-to-date with new developments in the field
- Provides a wide-ranging source of further reference material

- 提供廣泛的進一步參考資料來源
作者簡介
Dr. Alan Owens holds an undergraduate honours degree in physics and physical electronics and earned his doctorate in astrophysics from the University of Durham, United Kingdom. He spent over 35 years engaged in the design and construction of novel detection systems for X- and gamma-ray astronomy, mostly as a staff physicist at the European Space Agency's European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands and presently as a Senior Advisor at the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics in Prague in the Czech Republic. Dr. Owens has previously authored Compound Semiconductor Radiation Detector (CRC Press, 2012).
He also holds an honorary senior lectureship in space science at the University of Leicester, United Kingdom. Dr. Owens is currently involved in the development and exploitation of new technologies for space applications. Much of this work revolves around compound semiconductors for radiation detection and measurement, which by its very nature involves materials and systems at a low maturity level. Consequently, he has been involved in all aspects of a systematic and long-term program on material assessment, production, processing, detector fabrication and characterization for a large number of compound semiconductors.

艾倫·歐文斯博士擁有物理學和物理電子學的榮譽學士學位，並在英國達勒姆大學獲得天體物理學博士學位。他在設計和建造新型X射線和伽馬射線天文學檢測系統方面從事了超過35年的工作，主要作為歐洲太空局（European Space Agency）位於荷蘭的歐洲太空研究與技術中心（ESTEC）的職員物理學家，目前擔任捷克布拉格實驗與應用物理研究所的高級顧問。歐文斯博士曾著作《化合半導體輻射探測器》（Compound Semiconductor Radiation Detector，CRC Press，2012）。
他還在英國萊斯特大學擔任太空科學的榮譽高級講師。歐文斯博士目前參與新技術在太空應用中的開發和利用。這項工作的主要內容圍繞著用於輻射檢測和測量的化合半導體，這本質上涉及到低成熟度的材料和系統。因此，他參與了針對大量化合半導體的材料評估、生產、加工、探測器製造和特性測試的系統性和長期計劃的各個方面。
