Properties of Vacuum Deposited CsI(Tl) and ZnSe(Te) Scintillator Layers

Examinations of the crystalline structure, morphology, luminescent properties of layers of vacuum deposited CsI(Tl) and ZnSe(Te) are presented. The dependence of these important features on deposition conditions is discussed. Optimized deposition conditions relying on the experimental results are proposed that allow thick columnar films to be obtained, while preserving the initial dopant content in the film.
