Growth of AgSbS2 Single Crystals for Radiation Detector Applications

In medical imaging, nuclear safety, intelligence, and security applications, there is a high demand for room-temperature radiation detectors. A desirable radiation detection material must exhibit high sensitivity to radiation, high density, and a suitable band gap. Silver antimony sulfide (AgSbS₂) is an emerging ternary semiconductor material with potential applications in photovoltaics, optoelectronics, and radiation detection.
