  2. T l B r Bandgap – 2,678 eV Atomic number – Tl-81, Br-35 Density –7.5 g/cm3 Bridgeman-Stockbarger method Traveling Molten Zone method

  3. TABLE 1 The electrical and transport characteristics of the crystals grown by the two methods

  4. Spectrum of the source Am-241, registered by the detector J2 ata temperature –15°С and a bias of +500V. 1.14 keV 2.5 keV 1.37 keV 7.89 keV Spectrum of the source Am-241, registered by the detector J2 ata temperature –15°С and a bias of -500V.

  5. Spectrum of the source Cd-109, registered by the detector J2 ata temperature –15°С and a bias of +500V. 3.3 keV

  6. Spectrum of the source Co-57, registered by the detector J2 attemperature –15°С and a bias of +500V. 4.4 keV

  7. Spectrum of the source Cs-137, registered by the detector J2 attemperature –15°С and a bias of +50V. 27.7 keV

  8. TABLE 2The best resolution values (in keV) obtained at various energies

  9. CONCLUSIONS • Spectroscopic performance for detector crystals growth by both methods is compatible. • Further improvement of growth technology is required. • Efforts should be aimed at the improvement of transport characteristics. • The nature of carrier trapping should be clarify. Acknowledgments The authors thank Dr. K. Hitomi (Tohoku Institute of Technology, Japan) for providing crystals for test and evaluation and for valuable discussions.
