Nickel silicide (Ni2Si)-Powder
Product Description
Characteristic
Nickel silicides include several intermetallic compounds of nickel and silicon. Nickel silicides are important in microelectronics as they form at junctions of nickel and silicon.
Chemical formula:Ni2Si
Molar mass:145.473 g/mol
Density:7.40 g/cm3
