Thallium-activated sodium iodide crystal, NaI(Tl), was invented in 1948 (Hofstadter, 1949). It has been widely used in many fields, especially in industries (Tam et al., 2015, Thanh et al., 2015) and radiological protection. This type of detector has the advantage of operating at room temperature with high detection efficiency.

The sodium iodide reacts with the hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) by removing an oxygen atom. This essentially produces water and oxygen gas (H 2 O + O2). The oxygen gas produced gets trapped in the soap which produces the big ball of . The reaction produces oxygen gas, water and iodine. That is why the has a yellow color.

Sodium iodide is a water -soluble ionic compound with a crystal lattice. Sodium iodide is a source of iodine and can be administered as a supplement for total parenteral nutrition but is more commonly used in veterinary medicine. Radiolabelled compound, [DB09293], is used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate thyroid function and morphology.

Sodium iodide can be used both as single crystals and as polycrystals for this purpose. The iodine provides most of the stopping power in sodium iodide (since it has a high Z = 53). These crystalline scintillators are characterized by high density, high atomic number, and pulse decay times of approximately 1 microsecond (~ 10 -6 sec).
