We report the effects of a neutron-capture reaction of isotope B10 on the structure and electrical transport of B10-enriched single-crystalline boron nanobelts. Partial amorphization, particularly at the surface of the nanobelt, was observed after thermal neutron irradiation with a dose of 2×1019 cm−2. Carrier doping into the nanobelts by neutron transmutation is expected after postannealing. The change in conductance is discussed based on the distribution of localized states in the band gap of α-tetragonal boron.
