Phase relations in the LaNi/sub 5-x/Cu/sub x/, LaNi/sub x/ and related systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5283470

The Ni in LaNi/sub 5/ can be partially replaced by other elements. Limits of solid solubility were determined in the La(Mn,Ni)/sub 5/, La(Fe,Ni)/sub 5/, La(Ni,Al)/sub 5/ and La(Ni,Cu)/sub 5/ systems. Sections of the quaternary La(Mn,Ni,Al)/sub 5/, La(Ni,Cu,Al)/sub 5/, La(Fe,Ni,Cu)/sub 5/ and Y(Mn,Ni,Al)/sub 5/ systems were also investigated. All solutes increase unit cell constants. YMnNi/sub 4/ has the MgCu/sub 4/Sn-type structure (a/sub 0/ = 6.97A).
