Thin film gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) and p-type silicon heterojunction diodes were produced using a supercritical water deposition process. Pulse height spectroscopy was conducted on the novel diodes while they were subjected to a moderated plutonium-beryllium (PuBe) source flux of 104 thermal neutrons\/cm2 s. Coincident gamma spectroscopy was employed to verify the 1107.6 keV photon emissions from the diode indicative of successful neutron capture by Gd-157 and the subsequent de-excitation of the Gd-158m nucleus. Neutron capture in the diodes could not be confirmed experimentally. The diodes were found to be sensitive to gamma rays between 10 and 20 keV.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67938555265312,"sku":"NEW1288397283","price":22.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71D4JvK09YL.jpg?v=1792753178","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/gadolinium-oxide-silicon-thin-film-heterojunction-solid-state-neutron-detector-1288397283","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
