In recent decades organic electronics has entered the mainstream of consumer electronics, driven by innovations in scalability and low power applications, and low-cost fabrication methods. The potential for using organic semiconductor electronic devices as radiation detectors, and in particular for neutron detection is reported. We report results of laboratory tests using α particles as well as the response to thermal and fast neutrons covering the energy range 0.025 eV to 16.5 MeV. GEANT4 simulations are used to provide a detailed understanding of the performance and potential of this emerging technology for radiation detection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
