  ABSTRACT: Y-Si compounds with the composition of Y:Si = 1:2 were fabricated using Yttrium and Silicon raw powders with low and high purity in various atmospheres and temperatures. Although the latest Y-Si phase diagram shows that the α- and β-YSi2 phases are the stable phases for the stoichiometric composition of Y:Si = 1:2, the current experimental results suggest that the high temperature phase with the hexagonal structure, β-Y3Si5, would be the stable phase for this composition, and that the high temperature phase with the orthorhombic structure, β-YSi2, would be the meta-stable phase with high oxygen impurity content. It was demonstrated that YSi2 powders possess much superior chemical stability than Yttrium metal. It was found that the best dispersing solvent was 2-propanol for YSi2 powder.
