Abstract
Highly crystalline multilayers structures of B-10-enriched boron nitride nanotubes ((BNNTs)-B-10) are synthesized via a simple technique at 1200 degrees C. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images show randomly aligned (BNNTs)-B-10 with some cotton like morphologies. Transmission electron microscopy indicates highly crystalline nature of the BNNTs with internal bamboo-like structures. X-ray photon spectroscopy spectrum confirms Boron and Nitrogen elemental components of (BNNTs)-B-10, whereas Raman spectroscopy reports a peak at 1390 (cm(-1)) that relates to E-2g mode of (BNNTs)-B-10. The synthesized (BNNTs)-B-10 can effectively be used as a neutron sensing element in a solid state neutron detector with a 100% suggested efficiency. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
