Single crystals of cadmium sulfide 10 mm x 10 mm x 25 mm were prepared by sublimation-recrystallization of cadmium sulfide with crystal growth occurring on a polished clear quartz plate. Dark resistivities of the crystals ranged from 25 thousand ohm-centimeters to 140 million ohm-centimeters. The crystals were prepared for studies of gamma ray detection with 50 volts d-c applied across the electrode of the crystals. A change in current reading under irradiation with gannma rays was observed. Data are included on the resistivity of the crystals before and after doping with In/sub 2/S/sub 3/. (C.H.)
