LiGaSe2, LiInSe2, CsHgInS3, SnS, GaTe, BiI3, Sb2Te3, Tl4CdI6, and TlBr ? for radiation detection applications based on photon and charged particle (electrons, protons, and heavy ions) interaction parameters. Mass attenuation coefficient (?/?), half value layer (HVL), relaxation length (?), effective atomic number (Zeff), electron density (Neff), equivalent atomic number (Zeq), and exposure buildup factor (EBF) were computed using PAGEX software. These results, along with their intrinsic efficiencies calculated, were compared with that of standard materials (NaI(Tl), CdZnTe, and CdTe). The ?/? values of the studied semiconducting materials are ranked in the decreasing order as: TlBr, Tl4CdI6, BiI3, CsHgInS3, Sb2Te3, GaTe, SnS, LiInSe2, and LiGaSe2. TlBr, Tl4CdI6, BiI3, and Sb2Te3 show superior photon detection capabilities compared to the reference materials. TlBr and Tl4CdI6 have the highest intrinsic efficiency across nearly all energy regions, while LiGaSe2 has the lowest. Interaction parameters like range and Zeff for charged particles were also computed using standard databases, with SnS and Sb2Te3 showing the least range for all the charged particles studied throughout the entire energy region. The study indicates that TlBr and Tl4CdI6 have strong potential for developing next-generation radiation detectors with enhanced sensitivity, addressing needs in healthcare and national security. 2025 Elsevier Ltd Subject The topic of the resource Alpha; Electron; Proton; Radiation interaction parameters; Semiconductor crystals; X/?-ray Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Ltd Relation A related resource ISSN: 9698043; CODEN: ARISE Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Article Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Restricted Access; Hardcopy may be available in the library Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource online
