"Advanced Materials for Radiation Detectors and Sensors: Wide-Gap Semiconductors and Superconductors"
(Warsaw, September 8 - 10, 2004)
The workshop will be devoted to the novel semiconducting and superconducting materials for radiation detectors and sensors.
The improvements in the cadmium-based II-VI semiconductor crystals: CdTe, (Cd,Zn)Te and (Cd,Mn)Te, as materials for X-ray
and gamma-ray detectors used for detection of the radiological nuclear agents and weapons will be discussed. The superconducting
radiation detectors and magnetic sensors and their role in the security of quantum information processing, radiation detection,
non-destructive testing of aircraft parts and concrete highways, and geophysical prospecting will be reviewed. The discussion will
also focus on future trends in radiation probes and the desired directions of their future development.
The Workshop is in the framework of the NATO Programme "Security Through Science" (information on this programme can be found in
the internet at http://www.nato.int/science/). It is a series of lectures given by
"keyspeakers" and discussions with the invited participants. There will be neither contributed talks nor poster session. However,
the authors of papers related to the Workshop topics are encouraged to register
http://www.e-mrs.org/meetings/fall2004/ to the appropriate Symposium
of the E-MRS Fall Meeting (September 6 � 10, the same venue). Two of the Symposia are closely related to the NATO Workshop:
Symposium E - "Superconductors - New Developments, New Materials, New Applications, and Nanoscale Investigations",
and Symposium F - "Wide band gap II-VI semiconductors: growth, characterization and applications".
Due to the coordination between the Workshop and the E-MRS Fall Meeting the participants of the Symposia E and F can also
attend the NATO Workshop.
