Abstract

Photoelectron (PE) and thermostimulated exoelectron (TE) emission spectroscopies were explored for gas sensing and electron radiation nanodosimetry. Silicon substrates were in use as the working matter for benzene and isopentane sensing. PbS nanocrystals embedded in ZrO2 thin-films were employed to absorb electron radiation. Both PE and TE influenced by gas absorption and radiation deliver promising approaches for gas sensing and nanodosimetry.
