Abstract

See full text

A large-volume scintillation crystal affording a high scintillation yield and having high mechanical strength is obtained by growing a crystal from a melt containing strontium iodide, barium iodide or a mixture thereof and by doping with an activator. To this end, the melt is enclosed in a closed volume. Before and/or during the growing, the melt is in diffusion-permitting connection, via the enclosed volume, with an oxygen getter which sets a constant oxygen potential in the closed volume and the melt. Such a scintillation crystal is suitable for detecting UV-, gamma-, beta-, alpha- and/or positron radiation.
