“…Many compounds are known, such as AlMgB 14 , AlNaB 14 , AlLiB 14 , AlYB 14 , AlTbB 14 , AlDyB 14 , AlHoB 14 , AlErB 14 , AlYbB 14 and AlLuB 14 [1][2][3][4][5]. Bulk modulus of AlMgB 14 was measured to be in the range of 196-264 GPa [6]. Kölpin et al performed ab initio calculations on XMgB 14 (X¼ Al, C, Si, Ge, Mg, Sc, Ti, V, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta) [7] as well as Al x Y y B 14 (x, y¼0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.00) [8] and reported bulk moduli in the range from 196 to 228 GPa.…”
