Abstract
HgBr1.16I0.84 is a ternary compound, corresponding to the stoichiometr y 58 mol% HgBr2, 42 mol % HgI2 and it could be as promising for detect ion applications as alpha-HgI2. Crystals of HgBr1.16I0.84 were grown f rom the melt by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method. The crystals were cha racterized optically by transmission measurements in their fundamental energy gap region and electrically, by measuring the ln(sigma)-1000/T characteristic in the 260-360 K region. Also I-V characteristics were obtained at room temperature. Finally, the conductivity type was dete rmined by the thermal electromotive force (EMF) method.
