This grant supports R&amp;D toward a nuclear radiation                         detector based on the cubic semiconductor TlBr.  The research                   will be focussed primarily on developing techniques for                         producing single crystals of high purity Thallium Bromide.                           The high atomic numbers of the constituent materials of                    this new semiconductor imply high photo-electric absorption                     efficiency, and correspondingly more compact detectors than are                 now commonly available.  In addition, the 2.5 eV bandgap of the                 material permits operation at temperatures up to 250oC.  A                      detector with these characteristics would find a wide range of                  specialized applications.
