Domestic Scalable Growth Of Large-Format Pixelated CZT Crystals For Advanced Radiation Detection
Summary
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency seeks domestic development and scalable fabrication of large-format, pixelated cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) crystals for high‑performance room‑temperature gamma‑ray imaging and spectroscopy. This effort addresses critical supply‑chain vulnerabilities in radiation detection hardware for national security missions and aims to replace foreign‑sourced material with U.S. production.
