摘要
The response of TlBr crystals (both undoped and doped with either ln(1+) or Pb2+) to X-ray radiation was studied. It was experimentally observed that the response of TlBr, TlBr:Pb2+ and TlBr:ln(1+) crystals to X-ray irradiation strongly depends on the polarity of irradiated contact. A simple model based on X-ray and charge carriers' interaction qualitatively explained the effect. The Tl1+ ions' X-ray-induced mobility of 6.6 x 10(-14) cm(2)/V s and diffusion coefficient of 1.7 x 10(-15) cm(2)/s at room temperature were estimated from X-ray-induced current-time measurements of TlBr and TlBr:Pb2+ crystals using suggested model.
