碲化锌镉

碲化镉锌 （英语：Cadmium zinc telluride）（CdZnTe）或CZT是镉、锌和碲的化合物，或者更严格地说，是碲化镉和碲化锌的合金。它是一种直接带隙半导体，可用于多种应用，包括半导体探测器（英语：Semiconductor detector）、光折变光栅、电光调制器（英语：Electro-optic modulator）、太阳能电池以及太赫兹产生和检测。带隙约为 1.4 至 2.2 eV，具体取决于成分^[1]。

特征

A Cs-137 gamma-ray spectrum collected using an M400 pixelated CZT imaging spectrometer. Energy resolution, as measured by full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM), is better than 1%.

使用碲化镉锌 (CZT) 的辐射探测器可以在室温下以直接转换（或光电导）模式运行，这与一些需要冷却的其他材料（特别是锗）不同。它们的相对优势包括由于镉和碲的高原子序数而对X射线和伽马射线具有高灵敏度，以及比闪烁体探测器更好的能量分辨率^[2]。碲化镉锌可以形成不同的形状，以适应不同的辐射检测应用，并且已经开发了各种电极几何形状，例如共面网格^[3] 和小像素探测器^[4]，以提供单极（仅电子）操作，从而提高能量分辨率。 1 cm³ CZT 晶体的灵敏度范围为 30 keV 至 3 MeV，在 662 keV 时具有 2.5% FWHM 能量分辨率^[5]。
