Types of Tungsten Alloy Radiation Detectors

Since we cannot see, smell or taste radiation, we are dependent on instruments to indicate the presence of ionizing radiation. Radiation is energy traveling in the form of particles or waves in bundles of energy called photons.There are several types of tungsten alloy radiation detectors. Tungsten alloy radiation detectors are classified into two broad categories, Gaseous Ionization Chamber Detectors and Solid State Detectors.

Tungsten alloy gaseous ionization detectors have a gas chamber which is made of tungsten alloy. The particles to be detected are passed through the gas chamber. If the particles are of high energy they can ionize the gas atom and the gas started conducting the current. This current is measured to detect the particle or radiation.

In tungsten alloy solid state detectors, the semiconductor material, instead of gas in gaseous detector, are used as a detecting medium. A current is induced near to the p-n junction of the semiconductor material when an tungsten alloy ionizing radiation travels through these detectors.
