Crystal Growth, Structural and Electronic Characterizations of Zero-Dimensional Metal Halide (TEP)InBr Single Crystals for X-Ray Detection.

Recently, metal halides have shown great potential for applications such as solar energy harvesting, light emission, and ionizing radiation detection. In this work, we report the preparation, structural, thermal, and electronic properties of a new zero-dimensional (0D) halide (TEP)InBr (where TEP is tetraethylphosphonium organic cation, CHP). (TEP)InBr single crystals are obtained within a few days of continuous crystal growth time via a solution growth methodology.
