Lithium tetraborate has attracted much
attention as a potential radiation-proof material for an
optical device. it is used as a tissue-equivalent material
for radiation dosimetry. In the present investigation, we
report the preparation of lithium tetraborate (LTB)
nanoparticles by a solid -state method with high energy
ball-milling along with different parameter. Different
milling parameter was optimized to acquire essential
particle sizes. The crystalline size obtained from XRD
data is found within the range of 31-35 nm. The
morphological study was carried out using Scanning
electron microscope. The structural properties of
Lithium tetraborate was studied by Fourier transform
infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy
