Thallium Bromide Gamma-Ray Spectrometers and Pixel Arrays
Thallium bromide (TlBr) is a compound semiconductor with a band gap of 2.68 eV making it ideal for room temperature radiation detection. The high atomic numbers, 81 and 35, and the high density of 7.56 g/cm3 give it excellent gamma-ray stopping power. TlBr is a cubic material that melts congruently...
