“…Despite many reports on alkali earth halide growth by the Bridgman method and its modifications, no significant progress has been achieved in development of large size crystal growth technologies capable to reduce the production cost. Most efforts were related to SrI2:Eu, however still just up to 2"-diameter detectors are commercially available [6]. A few efforts have been made to adapt other conventional growth methods to the halides owing to their high hygroscopicity and related difficulty to maintain the necessary content of water and other oxygen-containing impurities in the growth chamber.…”

“…This occurs when a large gradient. In this case, the gradient was 15–25 °C/cm depending on the heater used, which made it possible to increase the growth rate of such crystals to 8 mm/h (with the standard being 0.5–1 mm/h). The disadvantage of a large gradient is cracking of crystals due to thermal stresses .…”
