Abstract
Boron of natural composition was investigated in the form of NiBSi met allic-glass foil to determine the cross-section functions of the B-nat (p,x)Be-7 and the B-nat(d,x)Be-7 nuclear reactions. These reactions ar e very important from the point of view of Thin Layer Activation (TLA) technique to monitor the wear of boron-containing superhard materials (e.g. BN), because the Be-7 with its half-life of 53 d and gamma-ener gy of 447 keV is very suitable for wear measurements. The possibility of recoil-implantation of the radioactive nuclei was also studied.
