A Radiation Tolerant Proton Detector Based on MAPbBr3 single crystal

Abstract

The performance and radiation tolerance of the proton detector based on MAPbBr3 perovskite single crystal are investigated here with 3MeV protons. The detector can monitor fluence rate and dose quantificationally at a low applied bias electric field(0.01$V/{\mu}m$) within a dose range of 45 kGy. The detector can also be worked at zero bias due to the Dember effect. The dark current of the detector reduced to 20% of the initial value after being irradiated with protons to a total fluence of $7.3\times 10^{13} p/cm^2$ (1 MGy), however, it can be recovered at room temperature within hours. These results suggest that this kind of detector has a promising application in proton therapy and proton imaging etc.
