Properties of uranium monophosphide were determined at room and at high temperatures. Heating UP above 1400°C in vacuum resulted in preferential loss of phosphorus, producing a slight contraction of the cubic lattice. Effect of temperature and time on the densification, lattice structure, and stoichiometry of UP is discussed. Properties determined include hardness, melting temperature, electrical resistivity, vaporization behavior, irradiation behavior, thermal expansion, high‐temperature compatibility, and some chemical properties.
