The paper described the shock-wave synthesis of high-pressure high-temperature mineral MgAl 2 O 4 with the parameter a = 8.085(3) Å and the Laves phase MgCu 2 with a = 7.076(2) Å from a mixture of MgO and aluminum powder placed into a copper insert inside a steel conservation ampoule. Spinel MgAl 2 O 4 with a smaller lattice parameter a = 8.0798 Å has been formed in an aluminum insert cup.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
