Branny, Artur (author), Didier, Pierre (author), Zichi, Julien (author), Esmaeil Zadeh, I.Z. (author), Steinhauer, Stephan (author), Zwiller, Val (author), Vogt, Ulrich (author)We characterized the performance of abiased superconducting nanowire to detect X-ray photons. The device, made of a 10 nm thin NbTiN film and fabricated on a dielectric substrate (SiO2, Nb3O5) detected 1000 times larger signal than anticipated from direct X-ray absorption. We attributed this effect to X-ray induced generation of secondary...journal article 2021

Khodyuk, I.V. (author), Rodnyi, P.A. (author), Dorenbos, P. (author)Nonproportional response of the scintillation yield of NaI:Tl was measured using highly monochromatic synchrotron irradiation ranging from 9–100 keV. Special attention is paid to the x-ray escape peaks. They provide us additional information about photon response in the range 0.9–12 keV. A rapid variation in the photon response curve is observed...journal article 2010

Selling, J. (author), Schweizer, S. (author), Birowosuto, M.D. (author), Dorenbos, P. (author)Single crystals of Ce-activated BaCl2, BaBr2, and BaI2 were investigated under x-ray and ?-ray excitation. The Ce3+-related x-ray excited luminescence in BaBr2 shifts significantly to longer wavelengths upon increasing the doping level from 0.1% to 1%. In Ce-activated BaCl2 only a slight shift can be observed. BaI2 does not show any Ce3+-related...journal article 2007
