| Capturing neutrons causes the boron nuclei to break apart, resulting in the emission of alpha radiation and lithium nuclei. |
| Electrons from the n-type half are drawn to the p-type half because of the way that phosphorus and boron bond with silicon. |
| Grain refinement by titanium, boron and zirconium additions has only a limited effect on mechanical properties. |
| Additions of boron, which precipitates these elements as borides, are used to remove them in conductor material. |
| Each layer is doped with tiny amounts of different impurities, usually phosphorus and boron. |
| The most important precipitation-hardening reactions are obtained with beryllium, chromium, boron, nickel, silicon, and zirconium. |
