The study of neutron capture processes in AlN nanoparticles
T. G. Naghiyev
Abstract
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.
