Samarium hexaboride, which is cubic and of CaB/sub 6/ type, was prepared by the boron and the boron carbide methods: Sm/sub 2/O/sub 3/ + 15B = 2SmB/sub 6/ + 5BO and Sm/sub 2/O/sub 3/ + 5B/sub 4/C = 2SmB/sub 6/ + 5CO. The powdered reactants were pelletized then fired at approximately 1600 deg C under vacuum for one hour. The resulting SmB/sub 6/ was pulverized, and its properties were determined (B.O.G.)
