“…The La 2 Ni 2 Mg crystallizes with a tetragonal structure, Mo 2 FeB 2 -type, determined by Hoffmann et al [26]. The crystal structure of the LaNiMg 2 , which shows a congruent formation at 630 • C [27], has been recently determined by Renaudin et al [7], who found an orthorhombic symmetry, CuMgAl 2 -type.…”
