Study of the Scintillating Properties of Materials Based on Self- Assembling Quantum Dots Embedded into a Semiconductor Bulk

The goal of the project is to investigate scintillating properties of materials based on self-assembled InAs QDs embedded into GaAs bulk. According to theoretical predictions, such materials can have scintillating properties and low self-absorption. Compared to scintillators based on inorganic scintillating crystals, QD-based scintillators could have significantly higher light yield and shorter emission times. We intend to check the theoretical predictions experimentally, measure scintillation parameters and their dependence on the QD-based materials and learn how the properties could be optimized for practical applications.
