Neutron reflectometry on highly absorbing films and its application to 10B4C-based neutron detectors
F. Piscitelli, A. Khaplanov, A. Devishvili +7
Neutron reflectometry is a powerful tool used for studies of surfaces and interfaces. In general the absorption in the typical studied materials can be neglected and this technique…
Configurational order-disorder induced metal-nonmetal transition in BC studied with first-principles superatom-special quasirandom structure method
A. Ektarawong, S. I. Simak, L. Hultman +2
Due to a large discrepancy between theory and experiment, the electronic character of crystalline boron carbide BC has been a controversial topic in the field of icosa…
First-principles study of configurational disorder in BC using a superatom-special quasirandom structure method
A. Ektarawong, S. I. Simak, L. Hultman +2
Configurationally disordered crystalline boron carbide, BC, is studied using first-principles calculations. We investigate both dilute and high concentrations of carbon-boron…
Investigation of background in large-area neutron detectors due to alpha emission from impurities in aluminium
J. Birch, J. -C. Buffet, J. -F. Clergeau +9
Thermal neutron detector based on films of BC have been developed as an alternative to He detectors. In particular, The Multi-Grid detector concept is considered for…
