Diode Dosimeters are essential in medical, biomedical, and high energy physics applications, as well as in critical reliability applications. They are primarily constructed of doped silicon. A dosimeter can be any of several types. It can be a Geiger counter or an electronic personal dosimeter. The device may also be a programmable alarm dosimeter or an original ion chamber reader. However, a good dosimeter will be portable so as to measure radiation in the field while exiting the Hot Zone. Dosimeters devices are solid state detectors that use a buildup cap to attenuate the incident beam. They also include an electrometer to read the accumulated charge. diode detectors have applications in small field dosimetry and they can be used in array measurements. Applications of Dosimeters include medical phantom beam and neutron facilities, spacecraft design, and first responders. Diode dosimeters are also used in the applications of radiation dose measurement, room temperature stability, and D=f(D) dependence. Radiation measurements on board spacecraft provide a useful source of data for high-sensitivity experiments and future spacecraft design. These measurements also provide a record of the dose that has been received by the crew during their missions. The most challenging aspect of radiation dosimetry is the high-energy radiation fields in the space environment. While low Earth orbit spacecraft are not affected by the same kinds of radiation as geosynchronous orbit spacecraft, the total radiation dose effect may still affect the performance of satellite materials and devices. This paper reviews the sources of the radiation environment, the types of radiation that are present, and how these can be accounted for in the design of spacecraft. One of the first steps towards patient dose calculation was carried out inside a voxel phantom. This was done by integrating the geometry over a set of 8 central voxels. These were then interpolated to form the isodose lines. The results were then compared to a similar set of measurements made on a physical humanoid phantom. Dosimeters for first responders help the first responder decide whether or not they should enter the area, and they help the responder know how much radiation they are likely to encounter. Silicon diodes are widely used in relative dosimetry for photon and electron beams. These devices are susceptible to the effects of radiation damage, which decreases their sensitivity. MV-dedicated diodes have similar measurement accuracy to conventional relative dose measurements, although they have less accurate response in the smaller field. The difference in sensitivity is a function of accumulated dose and the size of the field. The Dosimeters thermal properties were evaluated using a water bath test and differential scanning calorimetry. Thermal properties were compared to those of a NaCl-free dosimeter. A dosimeter's sensitivity can be affected by the transport temperature of its gel and the amount of NaCl added to its solution. This may influence its ability to respond to photons and electrons. The energy dependence of absorbed dose is one of the most important issues in dosimetry. This is due to the different absorption properties of material at different radiation energies. However, this dependence is less important than the volume averaging effect. An ideal Dosimeters is required to have a uniform response in all dose intervals. This is possible with a device that has a high bias voltage. This does not guarantee optimum results for small fields. To compensate for this, a range of new dosimeter types has been developed. They partially overcome some of the problems associated with pre-irradiation, reduced polarization voltage, and correction factors. The new generation of silicon dosimeters has a number of advantages. These include increased radiation hardness, improved stability, and better dose linearity.
