Lithium-containing chalcophosphates for thermal neutron detection
Abstract
Inorganic compounds having the formula LiMP 2 Q 6 , where M is Ga, In, Bi, Sb, As, Al, or a combination thereof, and Q is S and/or Se, are provided. Methods and devices for detecting incident neutrons and alpha-particles using the compounds are also provided. For thermal neutron detection applications, the compounds can be enriched with lithium-6 isotope ( 6 Li) to enhance their neutron detecting capabilities.
