Optical response of polycrystalline mercuric iodide photoconductive detectors

Mercuric Iodide in its tetragonal form has received a lot of attention for many years as a prospective room temperature X-ray and y-ray detector. Its basic properties are well suited for this purpose. Its wide band gap of 2.1eV contributes to a high dark resistivity of 1012ohm-cm or higher. A high a...
