Abstract
Mercuric Bromoiodide (HgBrI) is the only compound in the HgI2-HgBr2 sy stem of solid solutions and it is a candidate material for solid state nuclear radiation detector applications, operating at room temperatur e. In the present paper we report on the surface morphology of the cry stals, grown from the vapour phase, using optical microscopy and optic al spectroscopy. This examination aims at the determination of the fac tors that influence the surface quality of the crystals.
