The combination of distillation, Bridgman-Stockbarger, hydrothermal recrystallisation and travelling molten zone (TMZ) methods were used for TlBr purification. Grown crystals were characterised by XRD rocking curve and FTIR spectroscopy methods, and by electrical measurements made from 200 to 300 K.

The processing method for obtaining the high-quality surfaces of TlBr single crystals, providing removal of a mechanically destroyed surface layer by chemical etching, is developed. The crystals grown from the melt of purified materials by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method were used for the experiment
The single crystal TlBr, a promising candidate as a room temperature gamma-ray detector has material problems that are related to purity, crystal quality and treatment during the detector manufacturing. In this work, the effects of sizing, polishing and etching on properties of TlBr were studied by
