  • Neutron detector and method
    Patent number: 5334840
    Abstract: Neutron detector and method utilizing carbon infiltrated boron nitride in its hexagonal form. When exposed to thermal neutrons, this material has been found to scintillate or emit more photons of light per thermal neutron than materials heretofore employed as neutron detectors. The emission of light is further enhanced by enriching the boron nitride in Boron-10, and for neutron radiography, a single emulsion film is placed in direct contact with a carbon activated face of the boron nitride.
