Abstract: An apparatus including a microchannel plate having a structure that defines multiple microchannels. The structure includes multiple claddings that form the walls of the microchannels, each of the claddings including a semiconducting layer. The claddings are surrounded by a glass having a lower percentage of materials having atomic numbers higher than 34 as compared to the cladding. The glass has a higher percentage of neutron absorbing material than the cladding, the neutron absorbing material capable of capturing neutrons in reactions that result in secondary electron emissions in the microchannels.
