IDEA #7X51N4 OPTIMIZED BORON POWDER FOR NEUTRON DETECTION APPLICATIONS

An optimized boron powder is provided. The quantity of a soluble residue comingled with the optimized boron powder is less than 7.00×10−4 grams of soluble residue per gram of boron. In further examples, the optimized boron powder includes crystalline boron particles created by jet milling a boron feed stock. The boron powder includes more than about 75% of the particles having a diameter less than about 1 micron, more than about 95% of the particles having a diameter less than about 3 microns, and essentially all of the particles having a diameter less than about 15 microns. https://app.acclaimip.com/pdf/pl-r37bmakyWX6u6U-ZqQP1fc5qSq4R6pgnYPqc/US20130101488A1
