Solozhenko %J Physics %D 2014 %I arXiv %R 10.3103/S1063457614010031 %X 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. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.5610v1
