Physics of perovskite materials for medical radiography: experimental study of photoconduction gain

Engineering sciences Materials and applications

Abstract

X-rays is the most widely used medical imaging modality. It is used to establish diagnostics, monitor the evolution of pathologies, and guide surgical procedures.
The objective of this thesis is to study a perovskite type semiconductor material for its use as a direct X-ray sensor. Perovskite-based matrix imagers demonstrate improved spatial resolution and increased signal, and can thus help improve patient treatment. Prototype X-ray imagers manufactured at the CEA already provide radiographic images but their performances are limited by the instability of the sensor material.
You job will be to study the mechanisms responsible for the photoconduction gain and photocurrent drift of thick perovskite layers from both a theoretical and an experimental standpoint. To this end, you will adapt the electro-optical characterization benches of the laboratory, conduct experiments and analyze the data collected. You will also have the opportunity to perform advanced characterizations with specialized laboratories within the framework of national and international collaborations. The results of this thesis will provide a better understanding of the material properties and guide its ellaboration to produce high-performance X-ray imagers.
