Background:: The challenges to nanoporous filtration membranes are small fluxes and low membrane mechanical strengths. Objective:: To introduce newly invented nanoporous filtration membranes with complex pores, improved fluxes and mechanical strengths as registered in patents. Methods:: The analytical results are presented for the addressed membranes. Results:: The geometrical parameter values of the addressed membranes can be optimized for the highest fluxes. Conclusion:: The overall performances of nanoporous filtration membranes with complex cylindrical or/and conical pores can be significantly better than that of the conventional nanoporous filtration membranes with single cylindrical or conical pores.

Cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) detectors are known to suffer from polarization effects under high photon flux due to poor hole transport in the crystal material. This has led to the development of a high-flux capable CdZnTe material (HF-CdZnTe). Detectors with the HF-CdZnTe material have shown promising results at mitigating the onset of the polarization phenomenon, likely linked to improved crystal quality and hole carrier transport. Better hole transport will have an impact on charge collection, particularly in pixelated detector designs and thick sensors (>1 mm). In this paper, the presence of charge sharing and the magnitude of charge loss were calculated for a 2 mm thick pixelated HF-CdZnTe detector with 250 μm pixel pitch and 25 μm pixel gaps, bonded to the STFC HEXITEC ASIC. Results are compared with a CdTe detector as a reference point and supported with simulations from a Monte-Carlo detector model. Charge sharing events showed minimal charge loss in the HF-CdZnTe, resulting in a spectral resolution of 1.63 ± 0.08 keV Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) for bipixel charge sharing events at 59.5 keV. Depth of interaction effects were shown to influence charge loss in shared events. The performance is discussed in relation to the improved hole transport of HF-CdZnTe and comparison with simulated results provided evidence of a uniform electric field.
