Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract We proposed a self-powered UV–vis–NIR Schottky junction photodiode based on a unique combination of radiation-hard functional materials: thin-film semi-metal Graphite and CdZnTe single-crystal compound semiconductor. The graphite/CdZnTe Schottky junction photodiodes exhibit a maximum responsivity of 0.25 A W−1 and detectivity of 6.5 × 1011 Jones, close to the best heterojunction photodiodes based on CdZnTe solid solution. The devices are also characterized by short rise/fall times (1.2/7.2 µs) and a wide linear dynamic range (77 dB). The proposed photodiodes are promising for applications in space and terrestrial areas with high levels of ionizing radiation.
