Thallium bromide (TlBr) is an inorganic semiconductor compound belonging to the halide family, known for its wide bandgap and high density. This material is primarily investigated for radiation detection applications, particularly in gamma-ray and X-ray spectroscopy, where its strong stopping power and good charge transport properties enable efficient detection of high-energy photons. TlBr is of particular interest as an alternative to traditional semiconductor detectors in nuclear security, medical imaging, and space instrumentation, though it remains primarily a research and specialized commercial material compared to more established semiconductors like CdZnTe.
