Lithium based chalcogenides have many uses in the nuclear science field. ⁶LiInSe₂ (or LISe) has been researched extensively because of its ability to operate in both scintillator and semiconductor modes. This makes it useful in applications including nuclear material detection for national security, space applications, and medical imaging. In some applications growth and fabrication costs are of concern, as it takes upwards of 40 days to synthesize a charge, grow a crystal and fabricate a detector. Ceramics are a solution for this long route of preparation. This research shows that using a ⁶LiInSe₂ ceramic instead of a single crystal significantly decreases the time required to make a detector. In the present work, ceramic wafers can be formed using a mechanical press equipped with a heating attachment. The resulting ceramic wafer performs very similar to a slow-growth single crystal when used in the scintillator mode.

锂基硫族化物在核科学领域有许多用途。⁶ LiInSe ₂（或LISe）由于在闪烁体和半导体模式下均具有工作能力而被广泛研究。这使其在包括用于国家安全的核材料检测，太空应用和医学成像在内的应用中很有用。在某些应用中，增长和制造成本令人担忧，因为合成电荷，生长晶体和制造检测器需要40天以上的时间。陶瓷是解决这一漫长准备过程的解决方案。研究表明，使用⁶ LiInSe ₂陶瓷而不是单晶大大减少了制造探测器所需的时间。在本工作中，可以使用配备有加热附件的机械压力机来形成陶瓷晶片。当在闪烁器模式下使用时，所得的陶瓷晶片的性能与慢速生长的单晶非常相似。
