We discuss the effects of neutron and -ray irradiation on electrical transport of single-crystalline boron nanobelts toward a nano-scale radiation sensor device. Changes of electrical conductance of individual nanobelt before and after thermal neutron irradiation with low (10 cm s) or high (310 cm s) flux are presented.

Isotopic B atom has large thermal neutron capture cross section. Li atom and particle as a product of the neutron reaction can change the electrical transport property of the boron-rich semiconductor because they provide carrier doping and lattice defects. We successfully synthesized catalyst-free single-crystalline boron nanobelts (BNBs) and clarified the electrical transport and photoconduction mechanism of individual nanobelt. The BNB device is promising candidates for solid-state neutron sensors with both high resolution and good discrimination performance between neutron and -ray. In the presentation, we discuss the performance of thermal neutron detection of BNB devices. Isotopic B enriched BNBs was synthesized to detect thermal neutrons efficiently. Electrical conductance of a nanobelt increased to eight times after the thermal neutron irradiation with a dose of 1.810 cm by the neutron reaction of B.
