TSU radiophysicists are developing detectors for electron microscopes
TSU radiophysicists are creating sensors on chromium-compensated gallium arsenide (HR-GaAs: Cr) for detecting high-energy electrons. Based on these sensors, by December 2019, scientists will develop detectors for research and measurement equipment, in particular, modern transmission electron microscopes for the study of biological tissues and cells.
As a part of a new project, scientists plan to optimize the characteristics of matrix HR-GaAs: Cr sensors for detecting high-energy electrons. These are electrons with energies from several thousand to several million electron volts emitted during the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. Such electrons are sometimes called beta particles or beta rays.
