An investigation of silicon nitride (Si3N4) nanoparticles interaction with neutrons
T. G. Naghiyev
Abstract
The absorption of neutrons in nano-[Formula: see text] particles at different energies has been studied by computer modeling. The investigation was carried out separately for the silicon and nitrogen atoms that contain [Formula: see text] nanoparticles. Since the effective cross-section of absorption in different types of isotopes of silicon and nitrogen atoms is different, the modeling was performed separately for each stable isotope. Simultaneously, the effective cross-section spectra of neutrons for silicon and nitrogen atoms were studied.
