Considering the limitations of traditional semiconductors, such as Si and Ge, in high-energy radiation environments, in this study, we demonstrated the reliable and efficient performance of CdZnTe (CZT; II–IV compound semiconductor) in detecting and distinguishing radiation across a wide energy range. A 1-inch CZT crystal was grown using the vertical Bridgman method and subjected to post-processing to prepare radiation detectors. A 6 × 6 × 8 mm3 CZT sample exhibited a resistivity of 1.9 × ...
