摘要

Abstract

Melting of boron-rich chalcogenides, rhombohedral B12S and B12Se, has been studied at pressures up to 8 GPa using in situ electrical resistivity measurements. It was found that above 2.5 GPa both chalcogenides melt congruently. The melting curve of B12Se has a negative slope of ‒30(3) K/GPa, indicating a higher density of the melt compared to the solid phase, while a very unusual zero slope of –1(2) K/GPa is observed for B12S. The melting points at ambient pressure were estimated to be 2270(7) K for B12S and 2250(16) K for B12Se.
