First-principles study on the helium migration energies in B12X2 (X=O, Si, P, As) crystals for neutron absorber use
Boron-carbide-based materials (B12X2) with two-atom instead of three-atom chains have better ductility, which indicates that they may be better alternatives to nuclear absorber materials than B4C. In this study, we investigated the migration energy of neutron-induced helium interstitials using densi...
