Abstract

Single crystals of InI (Eg = 2.01 eV at 300K) have been grown by vertical Bridgman technique using zone refined (ZR) starting materials. The quality of the grown crystal has been evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Chemically etched crystal wafer has been used to fabricate optical and nuclear detectors. The results are presented in this paper.
