摘要
We have characterized photodetection properties of a new ternary semiconductor, HgBrxI2-x. High quality crystals of HgBrxI2-x are produced using purified starting materials. These crystals are characterized by measuring their optical, electrical and crystallographic properties. Photodetectors are fabricated from these ternary crystals and these photodetectors are evaluated by measuring their quantum efficiency as a function of the wavelength of incident light and their performance as scintillation spectrometers. The dominant factors limiting the performance of these photodetectors are identified and the direction of the future research in order to overcome these limitations is also presented.
