Organic Semiconducting Single Crystals as Next Generation of Low‐Cost, Room‐Temperature Electrical X‐ray Detectors

Direct, solid-state X-ray detectors based on organic single crystals are shown to operate at room temperature, in air, and at voltages as low as a few volts (see figure), delivering a stable and reproducible linear response to increasing X-ray dose rates, with notable radiation hardness and resistance to aging. All-organic and optically transparent devices are reported. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
