CdZnTe detectors have been employed in diagnostic X-ray spectroscopy. This paper
presents the Monte Carlo calculation of X-ray deposited energy in a CdZnTe detector for different
energies of photon beam. In incident photon direction, the distribution of absorbed dose as
deposited energy in detector is determined. Based on the dependence of the detector response on the
thickness and different Zn fractions, some conclusions about changes of the material characteristics
could be drawn. Results of numerical simulation suggest that the CdZnTe detector could be suitable
for X-ray low energy.
