Plutonium arsenide is a binary inorganic compound of plutonium and arsenic with the formula PuAs.
Synthesis
Fusion of stoichiometric amounts of pure substances in a vacuum or helium atmosphere.[1] The reaction is exothermic:
- Pu + As → PuAs
Passing arsine through heated plutonium hydride:
- 2PuH2 + 2AsH3 → 2PuAs + 5H2
Physical properties
Plutonium arsenide forms black or dark gray crystals of a cubic system,[2] space group Fm3m, cell parameters a = 0.5855 nm, Z = 4, structure of the NaCl-type.[3]
At high pressure (about 35 GPa), a phase transition occurs to a structure of the CsCl-type.[4]
At a temperature of 129 K, PuAs transforms into a ferromagnetic state.[5]
