Description

In this work, we report on single crystal growth and characterizations of a new scintillation material: CsSr1-xEux I3 (0≤x≤ 1). Single crystals of CsSr0.99Eu0.01I3, CsSr0.92Eu0.08I3 and CsEuI3 were grown via the Vertical Gradient Freeze method. The crystals exhibit good crystal quality, high light yield, and excellent energy resolution. Initial results show that the scintillation light yield of our CsSr0.92Eu0.08I3 crystal is ∝65,000 ph/MeV with 5.9% energy resolution at 662 keV. (copyright 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co.
