Electrical Conduction in PMMA–MX2 Composite Materials under X–Rays Illumination

Kulvinder Singh, Suman Singh

Abstract :

 Poly–methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and metal di–halide (MX2) composites are emerging as new promising materials for X–ray sensing. With continuously increasing demand for digital X–ray processing, need for highly stable detector materials is increasing. New composite materials are faicated using inorganic compounds like cadmium iodide and lead iodide. These materials are blended with Poly–methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and casted using organic solvents. Sheets of these materials were investigated for their electrical conductivity both with and without X–rays. These materials are found to have high energy radiation detection properties. Further switching studies were conducted on these materials. Results were analysed in light of photo–generation and photoconduction theories.
