TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes the common detector design constraints and related factors limiting performance of CZT detectors: bulk and surface leakage currents, surface effects, properties of Schottky contacts and surface interfacial layers, charge sharing and loss in multielectrode devices, charge transport nonuniformities, and fluctuations in the pulse height for long-drift-length devices.

TL;DR: The Frisch-ring detector as discussed by the authors is a bar-shaped CZT crystal with a geometrical aspect ratio of /spl sim/1:2, the side surfaces of the detector are coated with an insulating layer followed by a metal layer deposited directly upon the insulator.

TL;DR: In this article, a multizone adaptive scheme for transport and phase change processes (MASTRAP) is used to model heat and mass transfer in the Bridgman growth system and to predict the stress distribution in the as-grown CZT crystal and optimize the thermal profile.

TL;DR: Pulse shape analysis is proved to be a powerful tool to characterize the performance of CdZnTe devices and understand their operating principles as discussed by the authors, which allows one to investigate the device configurations, electron transport properties, effects governing charge collection, electric-field distributions, signal charge formation, etc.
