PROJECT DETAILS
Name: Study of the influence of impurities on electrical and optoelectrical properties of melt-grown PbI2 crystals
Sponsor: Czech Science Foundation
Principal investigator: Marie Matuchová, Ph.D.
Co-principal investigator: Jaroslav Maixner, Ph.D.
Member: Olga Procházková, Ph.D.; Jiří Zavadil, Ph.D.; Karel Žďánský, Ph.D.
From: 2004-01-01
To: 2006-12-31
The influence of lanthanide family elements (Yt, Er, Ho, Ce) in the growth melt on properties of PbI2 crystals is studied. Silver admixture is studied with respect to presumed impact on the crystal polytype. Crystals will be used in the construction of gamma- and x-ray detectors for medicine and ecology.
