In the past decades, metamaterial light absorbers have attracted tremendous attention due
to their impressive absorption efficiency and significant potential for multiple kinds of …

Boron carbide, a lightweight, high temperature material, has various applications as a
structural material and as a neutron absorber. The large solubility range of carbon in boron …

Abstract Boron carbide (B 4 C), silicon carbide (SiC) and silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) can
achieve low coefficient of friction (Cof) under high relative humidity condition. Therefore, B 4 …

In this study, a specifically designed B 4 C–TiB 2 composite with the typical microstructural
feature of a TiB 2 network (cages) that encapsulates a B 4 C matrix was fabricated by the …

Boron carbide, used as a neutron absorber, undergoes nuclear reactions producing relevant
quantities of He. The understanding of He kinetics at the atomic scale in the material is still in …

Boron carbide (B 4 C) is a leading candidate neutron absorber material for sodium-cooled
fast nuclear reactors owing to its excellent neutron-capture capability. The formation and …

Boron carbide is an important high-temperature material with interesting structural and
functional properties. However, self-diffusion is very poorly known on this material, and also …

Boron carbide, B 4 C, is widely used as a neutron absorber in nuclear reactors. Since
neutron absorption by 10 B leads to 4 He production, it appears necessary to study He …

When boron carbide is irradiated in nuclear reactors, large helium quantities are produced
due to the (n, α) neutron absorption reactions. In a recent paper, we have identified the …
