| Abstract: | Melting of boron subphosphide (B12P2) to 26?GPa has been studied by in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell, and by quenching and electrical resistance measurements in a toroid-type high pressure apparatus. B12P2 melts congruently, and the melting curve has a positive slope of 23(6)?K/GPa. No solid-state phase transition was observed up to the melting in the whole pressure range under study. |
