The phase relationships in the La–Ti–Sn ternary system at 473 K

The phase relationships in the Gd–Ti–Sn ternary system at 473 K and the new compound GdSn4Ti6

“…In the Ti-Sn system, all the five binary compounds, i.e. Ti 3 Sn, Ti 2 Sn, Ti 5 Sn 3 , Ti 6 Sn 5 and Ti 2 Sn 3 have been confirmed at 473 K, which agrees well with the previous work [8,9]. The seven binary compounds, namely Gd 5 Sn 3 , Gd 5 Sn 4 , Gd 11 Sn 10 , GdSn 2 , Gd 3 Sn 7 , Gd 4 Sn 11 and GdSn 3 in the Gd-Sn system were confirmed at 473 K in this work.…”

“…Gd-Ti and Ti-Sn systems have been studied in the previous works [7][8][9]. There is no binary compound in the Gd-Ti system and five intermediate compounds, i.e.…”

“…A formerly unknown stable phase Ti 2 Sn 3 and its crystal structure have been reported [13][14][15]. According to our previous work on the phase relationship of the La-Ti-Sn ternary system [16], the existence of a single phase Ti 2 Sn 3 has been clearly conformed at 473 K. In this work, the XRD pattern of #6 sample with (24 at.% Ti, 70 at.% Sn and 6 at.% Zr) clearly indicated the existence of Ti 2 Sn 3 phase besides Sn and ZrSn 2 , as illustrated in Fig. 1.…”

“…However, both works from Borzone et al [8] and Weitzer et al [10] showed that there were other intermetallics in this system. For example, Borzone et al [8] confirmed the existence of La 3 Sn phase, which was also observed by Zhuang et al [11] in the La-Ni-Sn system and Zhan et al [12,13] in the La-Ti-Sn and La-Cu-Sn systems. Weitzer et al [10] previously reported the formations of LaSn 2 , La 3 Sn 7 and La 2 Sn 5 , and determined that they crystallized in ZrGa 2 , Ce 2 Sn 5 and Tb 3 Sn 7 structure type, respectively.…”
