CsCl-Type Compounds in Binary Alloys of Rare-Earth Metals with Zinc and Copper

Abstract

The CsCl-type structure has been previously reported in alloys of copper with yttrium, gadolinium, and erbium, [1] and of zinc with lanthanum, cerium, and praesodymium. [2] The present investigation has uncovered five additional phases in copper-rare-earth alloys and nine in zinc-rare-earth alloys
