Abstract

See full text

Lithium-containing thiostannate spinel compounds having the formula Li2M1+xSn3−xS8, where x is 0 or 1 and M is Mg, Fe, Mn, Ni, Ga, In, or a combination thereof; or the formula Li1.66CuSn3.33S8 are provided. Methods and devices for detecting incident neutrons and alpha-particles using the compounds are also provided. For thermal neutron detection applications, the compounds can be enriched with lithium-6 isotope (6Li) to enhance their neutron detecting capabilities.
