Isothermal section of the Al–Dy–Ge ternary system at 673K

Isothermal section of the Al–Dy–Zr ternary system at 773 K

“…From the EDX result, it can be seen that the light phase is Al 3 Dy, the gray one Al 30 Dy 7 Zr 3 , and the dark one Al. No evidence is found to confirm the existence of Al 17 Dy 2 , which is in accordance with the result of Zhou et al [34] and Qin et al [35]. In the Al-Zr binary system, it is reported that the binary phase Al 3 Zr 5 forms through the peritectic reaction L + Al 2 Zr 3 ↔ Al 3 Zr 5 at 1480 • C [36], which is stable in the temperature range of 1000-1480 • C but not under 1000 • C because of the eutectoid reaction Al 3 Zr 5 ↔ AlZr 2 + Al 2 Zr 3 .…”

“…In Zhou et al's work [34], a series of alloy samples in the Al-rich region of Al-Dy-Ti system were prepared, but they did not find the compound Al 17 Dy 2 , and Qin et al [35] also got the same conclusion in their study of isothermal section of the Al-Dy-Ge ternary system at 673 K. In the present work, the equilibrated alloy #1(84 at.% Al, 13 at.% Dy and 3 at.% Zr) consists of three phases, i.e. Al, Al 3 Dy and Al 30 Dy 7 Zr 3 , as is shown in Fig.…”

Crystal structure of new ternary compounds Al2R11Ge8 (R=Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) and thermal properties of Al2Er11Ge8

“…A new compound Al 3−x Dy 11 Ge 7+x was found in a study of the phase diagram of the Al-Dy-Ge ternary system [15]. This work reports the crystal structure of Al 2 R 11 Ge 8 (R = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) and thermal expansion of Al 2 Er 11 Ge 8 .…”

Correlation between Slanted Magnetic Structure and Electromagnetic Responses in the RAlGe (R = Tb and Er) System

“…However, the LT phase orders antiferromagnetically with a Néel temperature of 34 K, and a large positive magnetoresistance with a maximum of 23% is observed . As for the other heavy rare-earth-based RAlGe intermetallics, to the best of our knowledge, there is only a detailed study of the crystal structure. , No report is available on their magnetic and electric properties. Therefore, we successfully synthesize the ternary heavy rare-earth alumogermanides RAlGe (R = Tb and Er) using the vacuum arc melting technique and systematically study their crystal structure, specific heat, magnetic properties, and electrical transport.…”
