dc.description.abstractCsPbBr3 single-crystals were synthesized using a hydrobromic acid-based temperature-lowering method, and their structural and optical properties were confirmed by XRD, DSC, and UV-Vis analyses. A solubility curve was established to optimize growth conditions, enabling enlargement of the seeded crystals. The radiation detection potential of CsPbBr3 was evaluated using EGS4 Monte Carlo simulations across photon energies ranging from 10 keV to 1 MeV. Simulated full-energy peak efficiencies and resolution values were compared with conventional detectors (Si(Li), NaI, and HPGe) and with alternative perovskite derivatives (CH3NH3PbBr3, Cs4PbBr6, CsPb2Br5). CsPbBr3 exhibited efficiency scaling with detector volume and resolution behavior consistent with the statistical 1/root E dependence typical of direct-gap semiconductors. While HPGe maintained superior intrinsic resolution, CsPbBr3 offered promising room-temperature performance without cryogenic requirements. These results demonstrate that the temperature-lowering method provides a viable route to scalable CsPbBr3 single-crystals and confirm their potential as cost-effective, high-Z semiconductor detectors for X- and gamma-ray applications. The findings establish a foundation for the further optimization of perovskite-based radiation detection technologies.
