Abstract

Solid-state devices for the detection of thermal neutrons may possess many interesting features compared to gas-filled detectors. The AlB₁₂, a wide band gap semiconductor, is an interesting candidate for such a detector, which can be used without cooling, e.g. at room temperature. Monocrystalline AlB₁₂ was grown by crucible free electron beam heating method and the obtained samples have been characterized crystallographically and electrically.
