ChemInform Abstract
A series of LnCu5-xCdx compounds (Ln: Ce, Gd, Tb and Yb; x = 0.9—3.0) are prepared by arc melting of the elements followed by annealing at 570 K (600 h). The structure of the AuBe5 type compounds are determined by powder XRD (cubic, space group F
3m). Homogeneity ranges and lattice parameters of the Ce, Gd, Tb and Yb phases are given. The Cu and Cd atoms are statistically distributed over two crystallographic sites. No phase transition are observed for the ternary phases.
