This book provides an up-to-date review of the principles, practical applications, and state of the art in semiconductor x-ray detectors. It describes all aspects of x-ray detection and measurement using semiconductors, from manufacture to implementation. The initial chapters present a self-contained summary of relevant background physics, materials science, and engineering aspects. Later chapters compare the manufacture and physical properties of systems and materials currently employed, enabling readers to fully understand the materials and scope for applications.
