The Heusler-type alloy MgZn2Ce

Description

Single crystals of the MgZn2Ce alloy (magnesium dizinc cerium) were synthesized by a two-step method which couples the thermal treatment of pressed pellets of the pure elements with subsequent arc melting. The compound crystallizes in a Heusler-type (MnCu2Al) structure in the space group Fm m, with one Zn site (site symmetry 3m), one Ce and one Mg site (both with m m site symmetry). All inter-atomic distances indicate metallic type bonding. © International Union of Crystallography 2007.
