Patent ·
OSTI ID:6516882

A process for purification of mercuric iodide (HgI/sub 2/) to be used as a source material for the growth of detector quality crystals. The high purity HgI/sub 2/ raw material is produced by a combination of three stages: synthesis of HgI/sub 2/ from Hg and I/sub 2/, repeated sublimation, and zone refining.
