Cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) is currently the only single crystalline semiconductor used in direct conversion gamma-cameras since CdZnTe can operate at room temperature, unlike other materials (e.g., germanium) that ...

A simple, cost effective technique to manufacture plasmonic nanostructures as a Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) substrate was investigated. The plasmonic structure of gold nanorods was developed on the surface ...
