Photodiodes Made of Cascade Perovskite Single Crystals with Passivation Layers for High-Energy-Resolution γ-ray Spectroscopy.

Lead halide perovskite single crystals (LHPSC) are promising for room-temperature γ-ray spectroscopy in radiation detection. While MA(CHNH)-based LHPSCs are the most straightforward and cost-effective to synthesize from solution, their performance in γ-ray spectroscopy is hindered by significant noise and ion migration at high bias, which degrades their energy resolution (ER). The work introduced an n-type/intrinsic/n-type photodiode incorporating passivation layers of MA-based LHPSCs, grown through solution-process epitaxial growth.
