BORON.
Abstract
A state-of-the-art survey and data sheet compilation on elemental boron is presented. The thorough literature search uncovered 304 references which were evaluated for information and data on the (1) reduction preparation methods, (2) zone-refining and melting techniques, (3) crystal structures, (4) electrical properties, (5) optical properties, (6) thermal and thermodynamic properties, (7) physical and chemical properties, (8) metallurgy and mechanical properties, (9) applications, (10) availability and suppliers. Major emphasis was the characterization of boron's semiconductive and acoustic properties with respect to potential semiconductor delay-line devices. Detailed information on the various methods of preparing pure boron and the resulting crystal structures plus properties are summarized in tables. (Author)
