finding sensitive detectors. In addition to its main use in crystal radios, crystal detectors were also used as radio wave detectors in scientific experiments

experimented with many substances as contact detectors, focusing on galena. His detectors consisted of a small galena crystal with a metal point contact pressed

Integrated Circuit containing a Gilbert cell. Product detectors are typically preferred to envelope detectors by shortwave listeners and radio amateurs as they

Semiconductor detectors find broad application for radiation protection, gamma and X-ray spectrometry, and as particle detectors. In semiconductor detectors, ionizing

synthetic zincite crystals are significant for their early use as semiconductor crystal detectors in the early development of crystal radios before the

discharge into visible light. Scintillation detectors are also used in the petroleum industry as detectors for Gamma Ray logs. There are many desired properties

problematic. Crystal scintillator experiments are a middle ground between cryogenic crystal detectors and noble gas scintillators, using the crystals of the

fast response of crystal detectors. Considerable research and development of silicon materials occurred during the war to develop detectors of consistent

crystal. Crystal detectors incorporating this construction would become the most widely used and popularly known by the term cat whisker detector. This patent

miniaturized the crystal detector. Point contact diodes (crystal diodes) and Schottky diodes are used in radar, microwave and millimeter wave detectors. Rectifiers
