Bulk and surface stoichiometry of vapor grown mercuric iodide crystals

Textured α-HgI2 ceramics for sensitive X-ray detection

“…However, growing single crystals with homogeneous and reproducible detection performances turned to be a very difficult task [14][15][16][17][18]. Besides, single crystals of HgI 2 are limited in size (at most 2-3 cm) [19] and thus unsuitable for large area detectors.…”
