Pressure is a powerful tool for exploring novel phenomena in solid-state physics. We review
the electronic states of single-crystalline EuT2X2 (T: transition metal, X: Si or Ge) and related …

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 inimitable electronic structures of the lanthanide (Ln) ions are key to advanced materials
and technologies involving these elements. The trivalent ions are ubiquitous and are used …

Five Zintl phases in the ternary system Eu–M–Pn (M= Al, In; Pn= As, Sb, Bi) were prepared
from the elements in tantalum containers. Eu5In2As6 and Eu5In2Sb6 crystallize in the …

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 …

Abstract Four new MPtAl2 (M= Ca, Sr, Ba, Eu) compounds, adopting the orthorhombic
MgCuAl2‐type structure, have been synthesized from the elements using tantalum …

Asymmetry, such as non-centrosymmetry in the crystal or chiral structure and local symmetry
breaking, plays an important role in the discovery of new phenomena. The honeycomb …

Ternary sulfides are usually synthesized from the binary sulfidic precursors at elevated
temperatures using prolonged reaction times and sometimes H2S atmosphere to remove …

The ternary rare-earth metal fluoride CsEuF 3 adopts an ideal cubic perovskite structure
[ABX 3] under ambient conditions. The B-cation site is occupied by the rare-earth Eu ion and …

Abstract Eu2Ir3Al9, synthesized from the elements in tantalum tubes, is one of the rare
examples for trivalent europium in the field of intermetallic compounds. The compound …
