A resistance-heated furnace with a good control of temperature gradients is used for the Czochralski growth of precipitate and colour free Bi,Ge,O,, (BGO) crystals up to 30 mm in diameter and 80 mm in lcngth from a 45 mm diameter crucible. The quality of the grown crystals is discussed in connection with the growth conditions. Spectrometric tests made on scintillators obtained from BGO crystals are presented. A Monte Carlo program is used in order to compute the full energy peak efficiency of the detector for different energies and geometries. The computed values are compared to the experimental reSUllS.

Structural and behavioural properties of models are very important in development of complex systems and applications. In this paper, we investigate such properties for some classes of SN P systems. First, a class of SN P systems associated to a set of routing problems are investigated through their matrix representation. This allows to make certain connections amongst some of these problems. Secondly, the behavioural properties of these SN P systems are formally verified through a natural and direct mapping of these models into kP systems which are equipped with adequate formal verification methods and tools. Some examples are used to prove the effectiveness of the verification approach.
