ABSTRACTThe aim of this work is to provide the basis for the interpretation of the steady state lateral photoeffect observed in p-i-n a-Si:H ID Thin Film Position Sensitive Detectors (ID TFPSD). The experimental data recorded in ID TFPSD devices with different performances are compared with the predicted curves and the obtained correlation's discussed.

The physical processes are examined which can be used for the detection of X-rays in the range between about 3 and about 20 keV and for the positional localization of the incident photons. The criteria for choosing a detector for particular purposes are discussed in general terms. Specific examples of one- and two-dimensional detectors are then considered with particular emphasis on devices which are still in a state of development, and an attempt is made to summarize the nature, performance and suitability for different experiments of available detectors.

Conventional methods of determination of residual stress in polycrystalline samples use either diffractometers or one-dimensional position-sensitive detectors. The most commonly used technique, the so-called "sin2ψ" method, requires several measurements at different angular positions of the sample. With diffractometers, two rotations are required, while with one-dimensional detectors, one rotation is required (except for the so-called single exposure technique, which requires two one-dimensional position-sensitive detectors). Rotation can be a potential source of errors if the sample is not aligned very carefully.

ABSTRACTLarge area thin film position sensitive detectors based on amorphous silicon technology have been prepared on polyimide substrates using the conventional plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition technique. The sensors have been characterised by spectral response, illuminated I-V characteristics and position detectability measurements. The obtained one dimensional position sensors with 5 mm wide and 60 mm long present a maximum spectral response at 600 nm, an open circuit voltage of 0.6 V and a position detectability with a correlation of 0.9989 associated to a standard deviation of 1×10−2, comparable to those ones produced on glass substrates. The surface of the sensors at each stage of fabrication was investigated by Atomic Force Microscopy.

X-ray diffraction images from two-dimensional position-sensitive detectors can be characterized as thick or thin, depending on whether the rotation-angle increment per image is greater than or less than the crystal mosaicity, respectively. The expectations and consequences of the processing of thick and thin images in terms of spatial overlap, saturated pixels, X-ray background andI/σ(I) are discussed. Thed*TREKsoftware suite for processing diffraction images is briefly introduced, and results fromd*TREKare compared with those from another popular package.
