Fundamentals of Custom Crystal Growth (Methods,...

Custom crystal growth relies on precise control of method, purity, doping, orientation, and post-processing. Different growth techniques—Czochralski, Bridgman, hydrothermal, flux, and floating-zone—are chosen based on material chemistry and research requirements....

Where to Buy Custom Scintillator Crystals | CsI...

Custom scintillator crystals are essential for achieving optimal gamma detection performance in spectroscopy, portable detectors, nuclear research, and imaging systems. Researchers should work with suppliers capable of custom geometries, dopant...

CsI(Tl) vs NaI(Tl) vs LYSO vs BGO vs LaBr₃

CsI(Tl) provides the best balance of light yield, ruggedness, and spectroscopy performance (~6% resolution), making it ideal for portable detectors. NaI(Tl) is the lowest-cost option. LYSO offers fast timing and...

Best Scintillators for Portable Radiation Detec...

For portable radiation detectors, CsI(Tl) offers the best overall combination of ruggedness, high light yield, and good spectroscopy performance. LYSO is preferred for fast, compact, non-hygroscopic designs, while NaI(Tl) serves...

CsI(Tl) Energy Resolution at 662 keV | Full Tec...

CsI(Tl) scintillators typically achieve about 6% energy resolution at 662 keV when coupled with a PMT. Resolution depends on crystal size, optical finish, Tl concentration, and readout electronics. CsI(Tl) provides...
