summary There is increasing interest in the development of radiation hard detector materials with the capability to discriminate within wide dose range and high radiation tolerance that are sensitive, and show a linear response.

High linearity response presented from the graph of current signal plotted versus dose rate which show enhancement of 104 in comparison to previous studies. The sensitivity measured at different bias voltages by exposing to 0.185 mGy/min dose rate show good reproducibility and stability of the current signal with time.
