Abstract

Cs3Bi2I6Br3 perovskite is one of the bismuth iodide family compounds. Because it contains no toxic lead, and has high stability in air and humidity, endowing a potential application prospects in photoelectric and radiation detectors. Herein, the Cs3Bi2I6Br3 single crystal (Φ13 × 65 mm3) with a (001) preferred direction was grown by using the melt method with solvent-synthesized polycrystalline particles, and the thin single wafer with a thickness up to 0.95 mm was obtained. The as-grown single crystal possesses high infrared transmittance of up to 70% in the range from 400 to 4000 cm−1 and an optical band gap of about 2.03 eV estimated from the visible absorption curve. A highly intrinsic resistivity 2.3 × 1010 Ω·cm and a dielectric constant about 10 were obtained from the electrical performance parameter measurements. The X-ray sensitivity of the X-ray detector is 55.62 µC/Gyair/cm2 (incident dose rate 0.24 mGy/s), as well as the signal-to-noise ratio, is up to 301. These results indicate Cs3Bi2I6Br3 single crystals are a potential material for X-ray detection.
