Evaluation of Antimony Tri-Iodide Crystals for Radiation Detectors by Toshiyuki Onodera, Koei Baba, Keitaro Hitomi

“…In addition, crystalline SbI3 is easy to grow by conventional crystal growth techniques from melting phase because the material exhibits a low melting point (171°C) and undergoes no phase transition in the range of its solid phase. In this study, SbI3 crystals were grown by the Bridgman method after synthesis of SbI3 from 99.9999% pure Sb and 99.999% pure I2. …”
