magnesiumsilider
Magnesium silicide, with the chemical formula Mg2Si, is an intermetallic compound formed from magnesium and silicon. The term magnesiumsilider is not standard and appears to be a misspelling of magnesium silicide.
Crystal structure and composition: Mg2Si crystallizes in an antifluorite-type structure, typically described as silicon forming a
Synthesis: Magnesium silicide is usually prepared by direct high-temperature reaction of elemental magnesium and silicon, typically
Properties: Mg2Si is a semiconductor with a moderate band gap and notable thermoelectric performance, particularly in
Applications and research: The compound has attracted interest for thermoelectric applications, especially as part of Mg2Si1−xGex
Safety and handling: Because Mg2Si reacts with moisture and air, handling is typically done under inert atmosphere.
