Emerging Materials for Radiation Detection

Advances in new materials always provide opportunities for developing new types of radiation detector, lower power, more versatile or for niche applications. Our multidisciplinary team has been built up to allow us to explore novel materials in an agile way, relying on our extensive expertise with a wide range of detector types, and available radiation sources. We are always looking for potential new types of detector that can lead to new commercial solutions in the near term and could provide significant benefits to longer-term applied and fundamental science applications.

We are actively researching applications of Perovskite materials in the realm of ionising radiation performance, in collaboration with Kromek. We are also exploring incorporating graphene components into our organic semiconductor devices in collaboration with Paragraf.

We are open to exploring new ideas and opportunities for collaboration with companies and laboratories that may be interested in exploring the potential for developing new applications for their technology and understanding markets that could emerge from such advances.
