“…The leakage current, where this is measured, appears to follow the same pattern of degradation (or lack of it) as the CCD does. The RD42 collaboration at CERN has made most of the systematic radiation damage investigations, and these have been reported progressively as the total doses were increased [5,18,[41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Table 2 shows the latest reported doses of various particles and their effect on the diamond's CCD.…”

Diamond's many extreme properties, such as its radiation and corrosion resistance, large bandgap, high electron and hole mobility, make it an attractive semiconductor for UV and particle detectors. This paper reviews the properties that are exploited by the latest generation of detectors, such as the radiation hardness and detection mechanisms, and those which are less well understood, such as grain boundaries and priming effects. The UV and particle detectors and dosimeters that have been reported in the last few years are described and briefly assessed.

Diamond is an exceptionally radiation-hard material, but the main mechanisms by which lattice damage results from irradiation of high-energy particles and photons are not well understood. Models of radiation damage in diamond have been built up for both electron and gamma irradiation using Monte Carlo computer simulations. The energies investigated ranged from 0.25 to 10 MeV for electron irradiation and 1 to 15 MeV for gamma irradiation. Electrons have a low collision cross-section with carbon atoms, and therefore much of their energy is dissipated in ionisation before the electron displaces an atom. Gamma radiation causes damage by the indirect process of generating electrons (by Compton scattering and pair production) which then displace atoms (and ionise the material). The knock-on atom may cause further damage by displacing further atoms. However, both electron and gamma irradiation form predominantly isolated vacancies and interstitial pairs (Frenkel pairs). The range of 1 MeV electrons in diamond is about 1.3 mm with a nearly constant damage profile up to this cut-off. The range of gamma photons is much greater, with about 85% of 1 MeV photons passing through a 5 mm diamond without causing any damage. The total damage rates were calculated to vary between 0.01 and 5.15 vacancies per incident electron and between 0.02 and 6.10 vacancies per photon over the energy ranges investigated.
