希土類ホウ化物の高圧合成

抄録

In this article, recent advances in the fundamental and applied high-pressure synthesis of rare-earth borides, especially RB₁₂, were reviewed. High-pressure equipment using the Walker module has been first introduced to Ibaraki University. It seems very convenient for primary users of high-pressure synthesis to use the equipment. We expect novel materials which have exotic physical properties.
