Dr. Alireza Kargar MS-ME 2005, PhD NE 2009; Dr. Alireza Kargar recently attained his Ph.D. after working on a project with Prof. McGregor to develop high-energy-resolution, room-temperature-operated CdZnTe detectors. The CdZnTe detectors will be arranged in an array for gamma ray spectroscopy and imaging. Alireza has successfully fabricated Frisch ring CdZnTe detectors with energy resolution below 1% FWHM at 662 keV. He is now investigating the effects of the device dimensions and the dielectric constant and thickness of the insulating layer in order to optimize the performance. Advisor: Douglas S. McGregor |

Alireza Kargar grinds CdZnTe samples to remove saw damage, and to shape the pieces for lapping and polishing.
CdZnTe samples shaped to be lapped, polished, and etched. The samples will be fabricated into "non-contacting" Frisch grid gamma ray spectrometers.
Alireza Kargar demonstrates a gamma ray spectrometer for engineering open house.
