Introduction Ionizing radiation, such as alpha-rays (helium nucleus), beta-rays (electron), X-rays and gamma-rays (electromagnetic wave), and heavy ions, has been used for many industrial and scientific purposes. To use such ionizing radiation, special tools, called radiation detectors, are necessary for detection. There are two types of radiation detectors: active- and passive- (1) types. These two types of detectors are also referred to as counting and integrated detectors, respectively. Semiconducting and luminescent materials are used as the materials for active solid-state radiation detectors that are known as semiconductor detectors and scintillators. On the other hand,
