Abstract

A two-step process has been proposed for the preparation of refractory rare-earth diborides: high-temperature high-pressure elemental synthesis followed by argon annealing. Using this process, we have synthesized terbium, erbium, thulium, and lutetium diborides containing no more than 3 wt % impurity phases.
