Crystal structures, physical properties and NMR experiments on the ternary rare-earth metal silicide boride compounds RE5Si2B8 (RE=Y, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho)

Color and Brightness Tuning in Heteronuclear Lanthanide Terephthalate Coordination Polymers

“…[31] Recent papers proved that 89 Y NMR spectroscopy is a useful probe for local ordering in solid-state compounds. [38][39][40][41] Consequently, we performed 13 (Figures 2 and 3) show no evidence of local ordering and support the interpretation of randomly distributed yttrium and lanthanum atoms. Figure 2 clearly shows that regardless of the lanthanum doping rate, the 89 Y NMR signal remains almost identical.…”

Solid state phase equilibria in the ternary Nd–Si–B system at 1270K

“…The phase diagram does not exhibit the presence of line compounds, such as the ternary phase RE 5 Si 2 B 8 , previously reported for RE = Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, and Y [4].…”

“…Attention has been turned next to other RE-Si-B diagrams also at 1270 K (RE = Nd, Dy, Ho, Er, and Y). A preliminary account of the Ho-Si-B and Dy-Si-B phase diagrams was recently published [4]. For comparison with the previous phase diagrams with light rare-earth metals (RE = La, Ce), our efforts were focused on the solid state phase equilibria in the Nd-Si-B system at 1270 K. The binary systems Nd-Si and Nd-B were preliminary re-investigated.…”

The ternary RE–Si–B systems (RE=Dy, Ho, Er and Y) at 1270K: Solid state phase equilibria and magnetic properties of the solid solution REB2−xSix (RE=Dy and Ho)

“…The line compound RE 5 Si 2 B 8 of Gd 5 Si 2 B 8 -type structure exhibits an intergrown structure, which is formed by the stacking of ThB 4 -and U 3 Si 2 -type slabs alternating along the c axis of the tetragonal lattice [3,20]. The crystal structures of all the RE 5 Si 2 B 8 phases (RE = Dy, Ho and Y) were recently reported [21]. On the contrary, no such phase could be synthesized with erbium under our experimental conditions.…”
