✦ Synopsis
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.

TlBr is a promising material for gamma-ray detectors; however, it has crystal quality problems originated from the crystal growth itself and further treatments during detector fabrication. The effect of technological improvements on crystal quality has been studied in this work. Low performance of s
## Abstract Lead iodide (PbI~2~) is an important material for room temperature radiation detectors. In this paper, we have grown PbI~2~ single crystal through a special craft, from which γ‐ray detector has also been fabricated. X‐ray diffraction analysis indicates structure of the grown crystal is
