Abstract
Several chemical routes are proposed for the synthesis of hexagonal boron nitride h-BN nanopowders doped with magnetic nanoclusters – ferromagnetic iron Fe or ferrimagnetic magnetite Fe3O4. Nanocomposites obtained during our experiments reveal magnetic properties rendering them useful for an application in BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) for external magnetic field controlled delivery of neutron-capturing boron 10B isotopes in target tumor cells.
