MM was per formed in an AGO2 planetary ball mill with hardened steel balls and vials. Before milling the vials were evac uated and filled by hydrogen with a pressure of MPa to reduce the temperature of the milling balls [12]. The ball charge was approximately 200 g and the mass of the powders being treated was 10 g in each vial.
