  • Neutron detection
    Patent number: 8207506
    Abstract: An electron multiplier includes a neutron-sensitive composition having silicon oxide, lead oxide, boron-10 enriched boron oxide, and yttrium oxide. The composition is capable of interacting with neutrons to form an electron cascade. The electron multiplier can be in the form of a microchannel plate, a microfiber plate, or a microsphere plate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 2010
    Date of Patent: June 26, 2012
    Assignee: Nova Scientific, Inc.
