Abstract
Various rare-earth nickel alloys with 70–80 at.% Ni have been studied by X-ray diffraction and metallography. The lattice parameters of compounds of the type RNi3 and R2Ni7 have been determined for R = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and Y. A structure determination is given for La2Ni7 and Sm2Ni7. Some of the compounds R2Ni7 have been observed to have two modifications. Indications have been obtained that the transformation between these two modifications is of the martensitic type. It is shown that the crystal structure of the R2Ni7 compounds is size-dependent.
