TL;DR: YbPtSn and Yb 2 Pt 3 Sn 5 were prepared from the elements in scaled tantalum tubes in a high-frequency furnace in a novel water-cooled sample chamber.

TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic properties of the ThCr 2 Si 2 -type arsenides EuM 2 As 2 (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Pd) and the new compounds LnFeAs (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd) with PbFCl-type structure were investigated and the Eu compounds exhibit antiferromagnetic ordering of the europium sublattices.

TL;DR: In this article, the structural stability of PdSn n (n = 2, 3, 4) with respect to different stacking possibilities of building blocks was investigated by ab initio calculations in the framework of density functional theory and it was found that differently stacked alternatives to the experimentally determined structure types are very close in energy.

TL;DR: The magnetic properties of the compounds AT2P2 (A = Sr, La, Eu; T = Fe, Co) and EuNi2p2 were studied by 57Fe and 151Eu Mossbauer spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements.

TL;DR: High-resolution transmission electron micrographs indicate both ordered and disordered crystallites as well as twinning in the new layered oxonitridosilicate EuSi (2)O(2)N(2), which exhibits Curie-Weiss behavior above 20 K.
