Abstract
THE vaporization properties of Group IV–VI transition metal monophosphides were investigated in order to obtain knowledge of their thermodynamic stability and of the possible existence of binary gaseous molecules between phosphorus and the respective transition metal. For this purpose, a Knudsen effusion–mass spectrometer assembly similar to that described by Chupka and Inghram1 was used. Included in the investigation were the monophosphides of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, molybdenum and tungsten.
