Darstellung und Struktur ternärer Silizide und Germanide des Lithiums mit den Seltenen Erden Y und Gd im Fe2P-Typ / Preparation and Crystal Structure of Ternary Silicides and Germanides of Lithium with the Rare-Earth-Metals Y and Gd in the Fe2P-Type Structure

Abstract

In the systems Li-M-X = (M = Y, Gd; X = Si, Ge) the compounds LiYSi, LiYGe and LiGdGe were prepared. Their crystal structures were determined by X-ray investigations. They crystallize hexagonally (space group P 6̄2m), and a C22-(Fe2P-type) lattice was found
