摘要
The kinetics of MgB2 synthesis is studied in situ by synchrotron X-ray diffraction, using pressed compacts of 200-400 Pin magnesium powders mixed with three types of submicrometer, amorphous, high-purity boron powders. Reaction times for commercially available and plasma-synthesized boron powders decreases from 100 to 2 min as temperature increases from 670 to 900 degrees C. They can be described by diffusion-controlled models of a reacting sphere with kinetics characterized by diffusion coefficients increasing with temperature from 2 x 10(-17) to 3 x 10(-16) m(2) s(-1), with activation energies of 123-143 U mol(-1). Plasma-synthesized boron powders doped with 7.4 at.% carbon show no significant differences in reaction kinetics as compared to undoped powders. (c) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.
