Abstract

Single crystals of a pure hydrocarbon, 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene, with properties suitable for high-energy neutron detection were grown from toluene solutions using slow evaporation and temperature reduction methods with growth rates up to 10 mm/day. Application of the rapid growth technique developed earlier for growth of large water-soluble crystals shows that crystals of aromatic compounds can be successfully grown from solutions in large volumes required for their use as scintillator materials for radiation detection.
