For many years, interest in the intermetallic compounds formed with antimony resulted
primarily from the presence of the element as an impurity in the ores of other metals …

Heat capacity data are presented for the five LnAl 2 compounds, where Ln= La, Ce, Pr, Nd
and Gd. The temperature range covered was 8 to 300° K. The data for non-magnetic LaAl 2 …

Energy levels, eigenfunctions, and magnetic moments of rare-earth ions in a crystal field of
hexagonal symmetry have been obtained using a Hamiltonian of the form H= B 4 0 O 4 0+ B …

All experimental data on phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of the Co–Nd, Cu–
Nd and Nd–Ni binary systems in literature were reviewed and critically examined. A set of …

Results of heat capacity measurements for LnNi 5 compounds with Ln La, Ce, Nd and Gd
are presented for the temperature range 5–300° K. Electrical resistivities are given for the …

In the rare earth metals and intermetallic compounds, the 4f electrons are well embedded
within the core orbitals and therefore do not play a significant role in chemical bonding. The …

Isoperibolic calorimetry has been used for the first time to determine the mixing enthalpies of
binary Nd–Ni liquid alloys in the range 0< x Ni< 0.5 at 1733 K and range 0.55< x Ni< 1 at …

The results of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic susceptibility
measurements in CeSn3 are presented together with other available data. The magnetic …

Heat capacity data are presented for intermetallic compounds PrNi 2, YNi 2 and the
pseudobinary system Pr c La 1-c Ni 2. The temperature range covered is 2 to 80 K. The …

A consistent set of thermodynamic functions for the Nd Ni system has been obtained by
means of the CALPHAD technique applied to the experimental phase diagram and …
