Single crystal growth of MgB2 and thermodynamics of Mg-B-N system at high pressure

J. Karpinski, S. M. Kazakov, J. Jun +4

Single crystals of MgB2 have been grown at high pressure via the peritectic decomposition of MgNB9. The crystals are of a size up to 1.5x0.9x0.2 mm3 with a weight up to 0.23 mg, an…
