Quantitative Investigation of Room-Temperature Breakdown Effects in Pixelated TlBr Detectors

Due to favorable material properties such as high atomic number (Tl: 81, Br: 35), high density ( 7.56 g/cm3), and a wide band gap (2.68 eV), thallium-bromide (TlBr) is currently under investigation for use as an alternative room-temperature semiconductor gamma-ray spectrometer. TlBr detectors can achieve less than 1% FWHM energy resolution at 662 keV, but these results are limited to stable operation at - 20°C. After days to months of room-temperature operation, ionic conduction causes these devices to fail. This work correlates the varying leakage current with alpha-particle and gamma-ray spectroscopic performances at various operating temperatures. Depth-dependent photopeak centroids exhibit time-dependent transient behavior, which indicates trapping sites form near the anode surface during room-temperature operation. After refabrication, similar performance and functionality of failed detectors returned.
