Tracking special nuclear materials (SNM) has never been more important than in the 21st century where information is transferred rapidly around the globe. Tracking SNM is important to nuclear power, weapons, medicine, and science. Neutron and gamma ray detection are the primary methods of detecting SNM. Increased movement and availability of SNM have increased the demand for radiation detection systems beyond the capacity of traditional neutron detection technologies (3He) [Helium three]. Many alternative neutron detection materials are being considered, including 6LiInSe2 [Lithium Indium Diselenide grown with lithium enriched in lithium six] and its derivative 6 …
