Evaluating the Resistance of Bifacial Perovskite Photodetectors to Xenon Ion Irradiation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Bifacial perovskite photodetectors maintain high efficiency and stability after 231 MeV xenon ion irradiation. Key photodetector parameters remain nearly unchanged at low fluence (1010 nucleons cm−2) and show only moderate degradation at high fluence (1011 nucleons cm−2), highlighting their strong radiation tolerance and suitability for optoelectronic ...
