Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of boron subphosphide, B12P2

Materials Science 2014-02-25 v1

Abstract

Two new methods to produce nanopowders of B12P2 boron subphosphide by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis have been proposed. Bulk polycrystalline B12P2 with microhardness of HV = 35(3) GPa and stability in air up to 1300 K has been prepared by sintering these powders at 5.2 GPa and 2500 K.
