Chapter 83 Magnetic properties of ternary intermetallic compounds of the RT2X2 type

Magnetic properties of CaNi2P2 and the corresponding lanthanoid nickel phosphides with ThCr2Si2 type structure

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses rare earth compounds. The number of stable binary intermetallic compounds in which one of the components is a rare earth element is of the order of a thousand. Combination with elements of much smaller metallic radii then encompasses a much larger number of possible atomic arrangements of sufficiently high space filling than would be the case for two components of almost equal size. A meaningful study of the physical properties of intermetallic compounds can only be made on single phase materials. Only a fraction of the compounds is in single phase condition after the melting together of the components. The chapter explains the compounds with non-magnetic elements and compounds with d-transition metals. It also explains ternary compounds or hydrides.
