Dopant compensation in alloyed CHNHPbBrCl perovskite single crystals for gamma-ray spectroscopy.

Organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) bring an unprecedented opportunity for radiation detection with their defect-tolerance nature, large mobility-lifetime product, and simple crystal growth from solution. Here we report a dopant compensation in alloyed OIHP single crystals to overcome limitations of device noise and charge collection, enabling γ-ray spectrum collection at room temperature. CHNHPbBr and CHNHPbCl are found to be p-type and n-type doped, respectively, whereas dopant-compensated CHNHPbBrCl alloy has over tenfold improved bulk resistivity of 3.
