Abstract
Highly crystalline multilayers structures of 10B-enriched boron nitride nanotubes (10BNNTs) are synthesized via a simple technique at 1200 °C. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images show randomly aligned 10BNNTs 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 10BNNTs, whereas Raman spectroscopy reports a peak at 1390 (cm−1) that relates to E2g mode of 10BNNTs. The synthesized 10BNNTs can effectively be used as a neutron sensing element in a solid state neutron detector with a 100% suggested efficiency.
