Title: Analysis of Gd5(Si2Ge2) Microstructure and Phase Transition

Abstract

With the recent discovery of the giant magnetocaloric effect and the beginning of extensive research on the properties of Gd5(SixGe1-x)4, a necessity has developed for a better understanding of the microstructure and crystal structure of this family of rare earth compounds with startling phenomenological properties. The aim of this research is to characterize the microstructure of the Gd5(SixGe1-x)4, with X ≅ 2 and its phase change by using both transmission and electron microscopes. A brief history of past work on Gd5(SixGe1-x)4 is necessary to understand this research in its proper context.
