摘要：
The potential for high-resolution alpha-particle energy spectrometry in high-temperature, high-radiation environments using thin-window 4H-SiC radiation detectors has been demonstrated. Pu-238 alpha-particle peaks separated by only 42.7 keV have been completely resolved using a SiC Schottky detector with a 400 angstrom titanium Schottky contact (entrance window). The observed FWHM for the Pu-238 5499.2-keV alpha particle peak is 20.6 keV or 0.37%. Factors affecting the observed alpha-particle energy resolution in SiC detectors will be discussed.
