Photoconducting sensors are fabricated using radiation-hard diamond films to measure the intensity of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation. They are composed of a pair of interdigitated Pt electrodes on highly oriented diamond surfaces. The sensors are examined as monitors of the intensity of VUV radiation (位=172 nm) from xenon excimer lamps with an output power of greater than 10 mW/cm2. It was demonstrated that the diamond sensors have practical durability: the output signals from the sensors are reproducible and stable under a continuous irradiation from the xenon lamps for more than 500 h.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
