Gamma and X-ray sensitivity of Gd2O3 heterojunctions

► Gadolinium oxide solid state detectors are not gamma blind. ► Gd2O3 devices appear sensitive to the X-ray photoemission events. ► Thin layer Gd2O3 heterojunction devices are not very sensitive to neutrons. ► Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) Gd2O3 favors a (−402) texture growth direction.
