Combustion synthesis of amorphous boron in a very-short-term magnesiothermic reduction

Nanosized amorphous boron powder was produced using mechanochemistry via a magnesiothermic reduction in a Mg/B2O3 system. High-energy ball milling was used to induce a mechanically induced self-sustaining reaction. Under severe milling conditions it was found that the ignition time for boron formation was only about 27 min of milling. In this study, the formation of boron and its amorphous nature is demonstrated by various characterizations.
