Bi + Se mixtures in the molar ratios of 2:3, 1:1. and 2:1. as well as a Bi
+ Sb + Se mixture in the molar ratio of 1:1:3 were treated in a planetary b
all mill. The compounds Bi2Se3, BiSe, and BiSbSe3 were formed after short m
illing periods.
The Bi + Se mixture in the molar ratio of 2:1 was less reactive, after 60 m
in besides the X-ray reflections of Bi, only few weak lines of an unidentif
ied product were observed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv
