New developments in wide bandgap CdZnTe (CZT) semiconductor ...

Many candidate materials considered for detector and
photo-voltaic applications
(1) Improve our ability to precisely image the distribution of
radionuclides in bodies;
(2) Enhance our capability to detect the trafficking, storage, and use
of radiological materials and devices.
