Abstract

We have been studying a γ-ray detector which uses a lead iodide PbI₂ crystal. The detector fabricated from a PbI₂ crystal grown by 10-pass zone travelling molten zone (TMZ) method. The μτ product of this crystal are estimated to be about 1×10^-6 cm²/V for electrons and about 6×10^-7 cm²/V for holes. The resistivity of the PbI₂ crystal estimated to be about 10¹² Ωcm. FWHM energy resolution the detector for a photoelectric peak for the 59.5 keV γ-rays is found to be about 5 keV.
