Radiation detector and method for producing photoconductive layer for recording thereof

A method for producing a photoconductive layer for recording of a radiation detector, wherein in the radiation detector, electrodes are provided on both sides of the photoconductive layer for recording and an electric charge generated within the photoconductive layer for recording by irradiation with radiation during application of a predetermined bias voltage between the electrodes is detected as an electric signal, the method comprising the steps of:

• heating a vapor-deposition cell holding therein selenium containing a predetermined amount of alkali metal;
• passing the selenium containing the alkali metal through a mesh, the temperature of the mesh being controlled in the range of the melting point of selenium to 243° C.;
• and
• depositing the selenium containing the alkali metal by evaporation.

A method for producing a photoconductive layer for recording of a radiation detector, wherein in the radiation detector, electrodes are provided on both sides of the photoconductive layer for recording and an electric charge generated within the photoconductive layer for recording by irradiation with radiation during application of a predetermined bias voltage between the electrodes is detected as an electric signal, the method comprising the steps of:

• heating a vapor-deposition cell holding therein selenium that does not contain alkali metal, the vapor-deposition cell having been modified with a compound containing alkali metal;
• passing the selenium containing the alkali metal through a mesh, the temperature of the mesh being controlled in the range of the melting point of selenium to 243° C.;
• and
• depositing the selenium containing the alkali metal by evaporation.
