High-pressure synthesis of the electron-excess compound CaSi6
The binary phase CaSi6 is prepared at a pressure of 10(1) GPa and a temperature of 1520(150) K. X-ray single-crystal structure refinements and powder diffraction data of quenched samples reveal that the compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system (space group Cmcm, a=4.4953(5) Å, b=10.0...
