A Novel Process to Produce Amorphous Nanosized Boron Useful for $\hbox{MgB}_{2}$ Synthesis
In this paper we report a new synthesis route to produce boron powders characterized as being amorphous and having very fine particle size. This route has been developed to improve the performances of superconducting MgB2 powders, which can be directly synthesized from this nano-structured boron precursor by following the ex-situ …
