Gold-Praseodymium-Antimony (Gautam Ghosh)



Introduction

[91Kas] synthesized the ternary phase Pr3Au3Sb4 by arc-melting. The alloy was prepared by using a stoichiometric mixture of Pr (unspecified purity) and an Au3Sb4 alloy.

The crystal structure and lattice parameter of Pr3Au3Sb4 are listed in Table 1.
