Abstract
Synthesis of zirconium boride, ZrB2, from zirconium borohydride, Zr(BH4)4, has been explored by a variety of methods, including chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a hot tube, laser CVD with both continuous-wave (cw) and pulsed lasers, and cw-laser synthesis of fine powders. In all cases, ZrB2 was the only crystalline product identified. Products made at high temperature contained excess boron, while those made at low temperature were boron-deficient.
