Popis: The development and investigations of uncooled semiconductor x- and γ-ray detectors based on thallium bromide crystals grown by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method are reported. The procedure for preparing Me-TlBr-Me (Me = Au, In) detector structures is described, and the current-voltage characteristics are investigated.The couting and spectrometric charactertics of the detectors fabricated have been investigated. The counting and spectrometric characteristics of the detectors fabricated have been measured. The best energy resolution was 0.54, 1.3, 1.41, 2.1, and 7.1 keV at energy 5.8 ( 55 Fe), 22.1 ( 109 Cd), 59.6 ( 241 AM), 122 ( 57 Co), and 662 keV ( 137 Cs), respectively.
