Abstract
Semiconducting lithium indium diselenide, 6LiInSe2 or LISe, has promising characteristics for neutron detection applications. The 95% isotopic enrichment of 6Li results in a highly efficient thermal neutron-sensitive material. In this study, we report on a proof-of-principle investigation of a semiconducting LISe pixel detector to demonstrate its potential as an efficient neutron imager. The LISe pixel detector had a 4Ã4 of pixels with a 550 µm pitch on a 5Ã5Ã0.56 mm3 LISe substrate. An experimentally verified spatial resolution of 300 µm was observed utilizing a super-sampling technique.
