Materials Data on Cu3P by Materials Project

Cu3P crystallizes in the trigonal P-3c1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P3- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–P bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.59 Å. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent P3- atoms. All Cu–P bond lengths are 2.35 Å. In the third Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent P3- atoms. All Cu–P bond lengths are 2.37 Å. P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Cu1+ atoms.

The preparation of BP single crystals by high pressure flux method

Single crystals of BP, a III-V compound semiconductor, were obtained by the high pressure flux method. Cu3P and Ni12P5 powders were used as the flux, and mixed with BP powder. Two kinds of mixtures were prepared: (1) 1.8g (BP) + 35 G (Cu3P) and (2) 1.7 g (BP) + 25 g (Ni12P5). They were compressed into pellets, heated at 1300 C for 24 h in an induction furnace under a pressure of 1 MPa using Ar-P2 gas, and slowly cooled to room temperature. In case (1), BP single crystals grew along the (III) plane, and in case (2) they grew as an aggregate of crystallites. The cathodoluminescence spectra of the synthetic BP crystals showed peaks near 680 nm (1.82 eV) for case (1), and 500 nm (2.47 eV) for case (2). By using the high pressure flux method conventional sized crystals were obtained in a relatively short time.
