Overlooked Binary Compounds Uncovered in the Reinspection of the La-Au System: Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Electronic Properties of La7Au3, La3Au2, and La3Au4.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Although compound formation between two elements is well studied, thorough investigations make it possible to uncover new binary compounds. A re-examination of the La-Au system revealed three new phases, which were characterized with respect to their structural and electronic properties as well as thermal stability: La7Au3 (Th7Fe3 type, space group P63mc, Pearson code hP20) appears to be metastable. It can be obtained by slow crystallization from a stoichiometric melt. La3Au2 (U3Si2 type, space group P4/mbm, Pearson code tP10) is stable up to 1013 K, where it decomposes peritectically. La3Au4 (Pu3Pd4 type, s
