A reliable and reusable device Cleanable nabling spectroscopy at high resolution Fast (max a few 10s of minutes) nabling quantification of actinides Available for water, but also drinks Low energy, a field trial device.

4 Probing the transient response of poly-x diamond to improve the stability of diamond devices under pulsed periodic excitation. P. Bergonzo, H. Hamrita, D. Tromson, C. Descamps, C. Mer, M. Nesladek N. Tranchant, F. Plion CA, LIST, Centre d tudes de Saclay, Gif-sur-Yvette, France Requirements - OK SC CVD should be close to ideal, (but unfortunately not defect free!) - But! what about large area availability very thin layers e.g. for alpha detection or membranes for synchrotrons cost Autonomy for production! Still a chance for polyx materials?! ssentially very uniform over large areas! 4
5 The role of defects " CVD materials, as well as high quality IIa type diamonds inherently exhibit defect levels TSC (A) Natural SA1 Natural A03 CVD-polyX TL (A) Temperature (K) 1-12 The role of defects " CVD materials, as well as high quality IIa type diamonds inherently exhibit defect levels Lot of literature available! Impurities, Dislocations, Vacancies etc - of interest for TL dosimetry - stable at RT TSC (A) Natural SA1 Natural A03 CVD-polyX TL (A) highly detrimental for IC - # unstability Temperature (K)

14 It comes : - The ON state is related to an equilibrium between carrier trapping and de-trapping : - Sensitivity is strongly affected by transiting charges! Thus to fluency! - quilibrium also varies with dose levels! Non linearities! - Stability is strongly varying with the device temperature :! This is one way to improve the signal stability : work at temperatures at which shallow levels are emptied.! OK but not always applicable Illustrative case Probing the response under a medical accelerator : - 6 MeV photon beam - Polycrystalline diamond (very defective!) - Dose rate is 3Gy/min 14

20 It comes :! Unstable effects are very commonly observed in polyx devices! The most determinant influence of shallow defect levels (typ 0.3 to 0.6 ev : the ones emptied close to RT)! They affect all materials! (from 18 to 113 defects/cm 3)! Solutions proposed : - Heat the device (Patent WO ) - Use light to detrap shallow carriers between events - 0V-bias the device and irradiate between two events (most convincing) (Patent FR D25440 AV)!
