Applications
Elemental boron serves as a dopant source, a component of hard ceramics and borides, and a reagent for boride synthesis. 4N5 purity suits doping and materials-synthesis work, including more demanding applications than lower grades allow.
- P-type dopant source in semiconductor research
- Metal boride and ceramic synthesis
- Neutron-absorption and energetic materials studies
