Caesium Iodide activated by thalium is a scintillation material with high absorption power.
It can be used as efficient gamma ray absorber.
CsI:Tl is soluble in water, but it is not hygroscopic under laboratory conditions.
It is highly resistive to mechanical and thermal shocks.
CsI:Tl can be easily fabricated into wide variety of shapes and geometries.
It can also be fabricated into detection matrices.
