Claims
- 1. A method of synthesizing an indium-phosphorus compound, consisting essentially of:
- disposing a mixture consisting of indium and phosphorus at a ratio of 1.1 moles or more of phosphorus per mole of indium in a crucible;
- subjecting the mixture to a liquid-phase reaction at a temperature of from 600 to 1200.degree. C. under a pressurized inert gas atmosphere of from 130 to 600 atm.;
- rapidly cooling the crucible, while increasing the pressure after a slight decrease of the pressure occurring immediately after termination of the reaction; and
- then gradually lowering the temperature and the pressure and recovering a polycrystalline compound of indium and phosphorus.
