Abstract
A detector includes a substrate including a matrix of aramid nanofibers, a distribution of nanoparticles across the matrix of aramid nanofibers, and a plurality of organic capping ligands. Each organic capping ligand of the plurality of organic capping ligands bonds a respective nanoparticle of the plurality of nanoparticles to a respective aramid nanofiber of the matrix of aramid nanofibers. The detector further includes first and second electrodes disposed along opposite sides of the substrate to capture charges generated by photons or particles incident upon the detector. Each nanoparticle of the plurality of nanoparticles has a semiconductor composition.
