Single crystals of rare-earth hexaborides, LaB6, CeB6, PrB6, NdB6, and SmB6, were prepared by the floating zone method. Their crystal quality increased as the atomic number of the rare-earth metals increased. The difference in the quality was explained from the high-temperature hardness and the growth temperature.
通过浮区法制备了稀土六硼化物LaB 6,CeB 6,PrB 6,NdB 6和SmB 6的单晶。它们的晶体质量随着稀土金属原子序数的增加而提高。从高温硬度和生长温度解释了质量的差异。
