On melting of boron phosphide under pressure

Abstract

Melting of cubic boron phosphide, BP has been studied at pressures to 9 GPa using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity measurements. It has been found that above 2.6 GPa BP melts congruently, and the melting curve exhibits negative slope -60(7) K/GPa, which is indicative of a higher density of the melt as compared to the solid phase.
