Abstract
The crystal structure of phases in the pseudo-binary system CeCo1–хNiхC2 (x = 0, 0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 0.79, 0.80, 0.83, 1) was investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction. Co richer solid solutions CeCo1–хNiхC2 (0≤ x ≤0.5) crystallize in the monoclinic CeCoC2-type structure; a = 5.3968(2) Å, b = 5.4013(3) Å, c = 7.4762(3) Å, β = 102.136(3)°, V = 213.06(3) Å3 for x = 0.5. Ni-rich CeNi1–yCoyC2 (0≤ y ≤0.2) are isotypic with the orthorhombic CeNiC2-type structure, a = 3.8486(2) Å, b = 4.5479(2) Å, c = 6.1531(3) Å, V = 107.70(1) Å3 for y = 0.2. In the intermediate region (0.5< x <0.79) both phases, CeCo0.21Ni0.79C2 and CeCo0.5Ni0.5C2, coexist. The non-isoelectronic substitution of Ni by Co in solid solutions CeNi1–yCoyC2 causes a continuous reduction of the Néel temperature and finally, for CeCoC2, results in a paramagnetic Kondo-lattice ground state.
