Abstract
Particle detectors play a key role in today’s materials science. Being generally based on the interaction of particles with matter they naturally form the foundation of any analytical tool to derive information on the structure of materials. Therefore, advances in particle detector technology are closely interrelated with improvements in instrumentation as well as an increased knowledge gain with respect to the corresponding interaction underlying the method. Illustrated by an example of a chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-based diamond synthesis process the correlation between particle detector technology and the different stages of process and materials characterization will be shown.
