“…In fact, the case of chromium still engages great interest of researchers [11][12][13] . Recently, much attention has been devoted to the two families of intermetallic materials: M 5 Ir 4 Si 10 , where M = (Er, Yb, Dy, Ho, Y and Tm) [14][15][16][17][18][19] and RNiC 2 , where R = (Sm, Tb, Nd and Gd) [20][21][22] , in which the emergence of CDW and magnetic ordering has been observed. The study of physical properties of these compounds opens a wide road to explore the interplay between both phenomena.…”
