Radiation detectors are widely used in physics, materials science, chemistry, and biology. Halide perovskites are known for their superior properties including tunable bandgaps and chemical compositions, high defect tolerance, solution-processable synthesis of films and crystals, and high carrier diffusion length. Recently, halide perovskites have attracted enormous interest as particle radiation detectors for both charged (α and β) and uncharged (neutrons) particles. Solid-state detectors based on single crystal perovskites can detect α particles and thermal neutrons with energy-resolved spectra. Halide perovskite scintillators are also able to detect β particles and fast neutrons. In this review, we briefly introduce the fundamentals of radiation detection and summarize the recent progress on halide perovskite detectors for particle radiation.
