1984 State of the art of the technology of mercuric iodide x-ray and gamma radiation detectors

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5444281
;

The present state of the art of mercuric iodide technology is reviewed. Recent progress is reported in the use of HgI/sub 2/ in high energy resolution x-ray and gamma ray spectrometers which operate at room temperature. Purification of starting materials, methods of crystal growth, detector fabrication, and characterization methods used for HgI/sub 2/ are described, and some applications of HgI/sub 2/ detectors to various device systems are given.
