In most intermetallic europium compounds, the Eu atoms exhibit a divalent oxidation state
with a high effective magnetic moment since Eu2+ is isoelectronic with Gd3+. Trivalent …

The ZrBeSi type is a superstructure variant of the aristotype AlB2 with an ordering of the
beryllium and silicon atoms on the boron network. Every other layer of Be3Si3 hexagons is …

The optical conductivity σ (ω, T) of CeRhSn was studied by broadband infrared
spectroscopy. Temperature-dependent spectral weight transfer occurs over high energy (0.8 …

Following recent investigation in the ternary system Sr–Al–Pt led to the discovery of SrAl5Pt3
which crystallizes in the orthorhombic YNi5Si3 type (Pnma) structure. Interestingly, only two …

Combined experimental and density functional theory (DFT) study of Pr 0.75 Gd 0.25 ScGe
and its hydride (Pr 0.75 Gd 0.25 ScGeH) reveals intricacies of composition-structure …

By combining experimental and computational studies, the orthorhombic stannide CeMgSn
with a TiNiSi-type structure has been characterized as a potential hydrogen storage …

A brief overview of the impact of presence of hydrogen in metallic systems on magnetic
properties is given. Respective differences between the 4 f, 5f, and 3d system are …

Unexpected physical phenomena resulting from the seemingly inconsequential substitutions
of chemically similar lanthanide elements in the Pr 1− x Gd x ScGe system are exploited to …

A total of 35 intermetallic aluminum compounds have been synthesized from the elements
via arc melting and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. A total of 15 of them have …

We report the successful growth of CeCuSi single crystals using a metallic flux method and
the physical properties using structural, magnetic, electrical transport, optical, and heat …
