Abstract

A novel sensing scheme that is not based on scintillation or charge generation in semiconductors can be deployed for the detection of uncharged ionization radiation using small devices. Functional POSs were accessed by click chem. methods, and several strategies were successfully deployed to increase sensor sensitivity. Systematic improvements in sensitivity can be accomplished by rational design, and incorporation of the appropriate chem. components to achieve sensitivities in the 103 rad range. [on SciFinder(R)]
