The thickness of the thin film is only 1 micrometer, and the key technology of the neutron detector, boron carbide thin film, has been successfully developed in Dongguan
Southern Finance and Economics All Media Reporter Cheng Hao reports from DongguanThe picture shows a high-performance large-area boron carbide thin film sample developed by the Chinese spallation neutron source team (provided by the interviewed unit)The China Spallation Neutron Source, located in the Songshan Lake Science City in Dongguan, is known as the "super microscope" for observing the microscopic world, and the neutron detector is like the "eye" of this large scientific device, used to discover the microstructure of the sample.Currently, neutron detectors based on boron conversion have become a hot research topic internationally due to their excellent performance...
Realize localization! High performance and large area boron carbide thin film for neutron detectors successfully developed in China
The reporter learned from the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that recently, the Chinese Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) detector team successfully prepared high-performance and large-area boron carbide film samples to meet the needs of neutron detectors by using the self-developed special device for magnetron sputtering large-area boron plating, and realized the localization of key technologies and devices of neutron detectors.With the upcoming launch of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Phase II project, the proposed neutron spectrometer urgently requires new neutron detectors with large area, high efficiency, and position sensitivity...
