The study of neutron capture processes in AlN nanoparticles

The neutron capture processes in the AlN nanoparticles were investigated by computer modeling. Neutrons absorption were separately investigated for aluminum (Al) and nitrogen (N) atoms in the AlN nanoparticles. The modeling was performed separately for each stable Al and N isotopes, because the effective absorption cross-section of different types of isotopes of Al and N atoms is different. Moreover, effective cross-section spectra of neutron capture for aluminum and nitrogen atoms were comparatively investigated.

Automated summary

The neutron capture processes in AlN nanoparticles were studied using computer modeling, focusing on the separate absorption of neutrons by aluminum and nitrogen atoms. Modeling was done for each stable isotope of Al and N due to differences in effective absorption cross-sections, and effective cross-section spectra for neutron capture by aluminum and nitrogen atoms were compared.
