Plutonium arsenide is a binary inorganic compound of plutonium and arsenic with the formula PuAs.

Synthesis

Fusion of stoichiometric amounts of pure substances in a vacuum or helium atmosphere.^[1] The reaction is exothermic:

Pu + As → PuAs

Passing arsine through heated plutonium hydride:

2PuH₂ + 2AsH₃ → 2PuAs + 5H₂

Physical properties

Plutonium arsenide forms black or dark gray crystals of a cubic system,^[2] space group Fm3m, cell parameters a = 0.5855 nm, Z = 4, structure of the NaCl-type.^[3]

At high pressure (about 35 GPa), a phase transition occurs to a structure of the CsCl-type.^[4]

At a temperature of 129 °K, PuAs transforms into a ferromagnetic state.^[5]
