Abstract: Indium iodide (InI) is a promising wide energy band gap nuclear detector material. It is ideal for space experiments because it is non-toxic and has a relatively low melting point of only 351 degrees Centigrade. However, it has been established that melt-grown crystals contain a large amount of second phase inclusions/precipitates. The typical size of inclusions are 1 to 27 microns in diameter, while the volume fraction of all sizes is 300 to 600 parts per million. The SEM-EDS (Scanning Elect…
