In this work, we initially simulated a pyroelectric crystal neutron source and calculated its neutron yield. Then in order to carry out its validation, we compared our results with experimental results. Afterwards with changes in the pyroelectric crystal shape, we could reduce the ion beam radius and followed by its convergence; the neutron gain increased. In the following, we compounded the convergence model and two crystal systems that caused more neutron gains. Finally, by using various materials as the target, we tried to offer materials with high neutron producing ability.
