Abstract

Boron nitride nanotubes with isotopically enriched 10B have been synthesized successfully with a high yield and a large quantity in different sizes using a ball milling and annealing process. By optimizing heating atmospheres, different diameter sized 10BN nanotubes can be obtained. Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) analysis confirmed a high content of 10B (96 at %) in the 10BN nanotubes.
