Estimation of human daily boron exposure in a boron-rich area

Magnetic coupling in boron-rich NeFeB nanocomposites

In this article, we report types of magnetic domain patterns caused by either dipolar coupling or exchange coupling inside a heat-treated boron-rich NdFeB melt-spun ribbon. The average grain size of the sample was about 38 nm. Single particle domains were commonly observed in Fresnel images all through the specimen, suggesting little exchange coupling among the grains in these regions. Snake-sh...

A Monte Carlo study of SPECT in boron neutron capture therapy for a heterogeneous human phantom

Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapy combining biochemical targeting with neutron irradiation. However, monitoring the boron distribution is a fundamental problem in BNCT. Prompt gamma rays emitted by boron capture reaction can be used to address the issue. Materials and Methods: The general-purpose Monte Carlo toolkits Geant4 and MCNP were used for the simu...
