Ternary Compounds REAgSb2, RE = Y, La, Ce, Pr, Ndr Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm: Magnetism and Crystal Structure

Crystal growth, characterization and physical properties of PrNiSb3, NdNiSb3 and SmNiSb3

“…As Ln progresses from Ce to Sm, the Sb-Sb interatomic distances decrease. Perfectly square sheets have been found for the LnT x Sb 2 (T=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pt, Pd, Cd, Ag, Au) compounds, where x is usually less than or equal to 1 [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The Sb-Sb-Sb angles in LnNiSb 3 (Ln=Ce-Nd, Sm) deviate from 901, further indicating distorted Sb nearly square nets.…”

A Novel Intermetallic Compound, CeCu1−xBi2

“…Recently, a series of isotypic compounds (RE)TSb2 (RE = rare earth, T = Fe, Ni, Pd, Cu, Au or Ag) have been studied by Rogl's group (Leithe-Jasper & Rogl, 1994;Sologub, Hiebl, Rogl, Noel & Bodak, 1994;Sologub, Noel, Leithe-Jasper, Rogl & Bodak, 1995). From their structural studies, defect structures for some compounds have been reported.…”

Thermoelectric Properties of Ternary Rare-Earth Copper Antimonides LaCu<I><SUB>x</SUB></I>Sb<SUB>2</SUB> (0.9&le;<I>x</I>&le;1.3)

“…1, LnMSb 2 has three types of layers: CuSb 4 tetrahedral block layers, square Sb nets, and an Ln atom layers. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Recent studies on the electrical properties of LnMSb 2 (M: Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag, Cd) have shown that these compounds exhibit low electrical resistivity over the temperature range 4-300 K. [17][18][19][20] In CeNiSb 2 and CeAgSb 2 , the Seebeck coefficient ranges from À5 to 15 mVÁK À1 over this temperature range. 19) However, there is little information on the high-temperature electrical properties of these compounds.…”
