Article Synopsis
  • - The compound NaBSi was created under extreme conditions (6 to 9.5 GPa pressure and 1070 to 1270 K temperature) and then cooled rapidly before gradually returning to room temperature.
  • - Its crystal structure was analyzed using advanced electron diffraction techniques and was confirmed through quantum chemistry calculations, showing a unique framework with octahedral boron clusters linked by silicon "dumbbells."
  • - The structure features sodium ions in cavities of a framework similar to Heusler alloys, indicating a Zintl-Wade phase that suggests NaBSi behaves as a semiconductor based on electronic band structure calculations.
