The 500 °C isothermal section of the La–Mg–Sn ternary system was established by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRPD) on more than fifty alloys synthesized by induction melting and annealed. A few boundary binary compounds were found to dissolve the third element,...

The synthesis, structural characterization, and chemical-bonding peculiarities of the two new polar lanthanum magnesium germanides La4Mg5Ge6 and La4Mg7Ge6 are reported. The crystal structures of these intermetallics were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The La4Mg5Ge6 phase crystallizes in the orthorhombic Gd4Zn5Ge6...
