    Erik Heijne (Czech Technical University (CZ))
    11/07/2016, 09:30

    The explanation of the photo-electric effect in 1905 literally shed light on the structure of matter. Nevertheless, it still took 40 years before the first practical solid devices exploited this understanding for detection of ionizing nuclear particles. From then on, during 70 years a succession of innovations has led to widespread use of semiconductor nuclear detectors in physics, materials...
