Possible routes for synthesis of new boron-rich Fe-B and Fe(1-x)Cr(x)B4 compounds

A. F. Bialon, T. Hammerschmidt, R. Drautz +3

We use ab initio calculations to examine thermodynamic factors that could promote the formation of recently proposed unique oP10-FeB4 and oP12-FeB2 compounds. We demonstrate that t…
