| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for producing and/or capturing neutrons, including the following steps: a) exposing nuclei selected among protons, deuterons and/or tritons to an electric field in order to extract said nuclei and to direct said nuclei thus extracted towards a target (20) containing free electrons; b) for example, exposing said nuclei to a spatial and/or temporal gradient of a first magnetic field so as to give a predefined orientation to the magnetic moments of the nuclei; c) either exposing the target to a second magnetic field so as to give a predefined orientation to the magnetic moments of the free electrons of the target; d) or using an electron-donor superparamagnetic material so that the electrons of the free layers of these materials are oriented in preferred directions generated by the orientation of the resulting magnetic moment of the superparamagnetic material; e) for example, in the case of using a superparamagnetic material, not exposing the proton beam and/or the target to the external magnetic fields. A heating device and/or a device for generating magnetic fields may be required in order to activate the superparamagnetic properties of the material. |
