Deformation calculations
have been performed for NaI and CsI single crystals taking into account
the crystal symmetry and thermal expansion under boundary conditions which
can be realized in the production of scintillation detectors. Dependences
of longitudinal stress on the side force applied to the crystal and on
thermal expansion coefficients at different temperatures have been derived.
A relationship has been determined between the force pressing the crystal
against the detector window and thermal expansion of the crystal that is
of importance for designing of scintillation detectors.
