Abstract
This paper reports on the evaluation of photodetectors fabricated from a ternary semiconductor, TlBrxI1-x for application in scintillation s pectroscopy. These photodetectors are characterized in terms of their resistivity, charge transport parameters, quantum efficiency as a func tion of wavelength, and finally their performance as scintillation spe ctrometers. The details about TlBrxI1-x purification, crystal growth a nd device fabrication are also addressed.
