Abstract
The average energy consumed in the generation of an electron–hole pair (ε AlInP ) in Al 0.52 In 0.48 P was experimentally measured across the temperature range −20 °C to 100 ∘ C, using a custom AlInP X-ray-photodiode, an 55 Fe radioisotope X-ray source, and custom low-noise charge-sensitive preamplifier electronics. ε AlInP was found to linearly decrease with increasing temperature according to the equation ε AlInP = (-0.0033 eV/K ± 0.0003 eV/K)T + (6.31 eV ± 0.10 eV). At room temperature (20 °C), ε AlInP = 5.34 eV ± 0.07 eV.
