Te. Albrecht-schmitt et al., Preparation of single crystals of binary and ternary transition metal and uranium arsenides and antimonides from reactive-fluxes, J CRYST GR, 217(3), 2000, pp. 250-254
Single crystals as large as 2 mm of binary transition metal and uranium ars
enides and antimonides can be grown from the reactions of titanium, chromiu
m, zirconium, hafnium, tantalum, rhenium, or uranium with alkali metal arse
nides and antimonides from 500 degrees C to 950 degrees C. Single crystals
of the ternary uranium copper arsenide phases UCuAs2 and U2Cu4As5 can also
be grown from the reaction of uranium and copper with Cs3As7. The resulting
crystals were analyzed by electron dispersive analysis by X-rays (EDX) and
single crystal X-ray diffraction. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All right
