Electrical and magnetic properties of CeNi4In with Ce in saturated valence state

Magnetic and electronic properties of heavy fermion compound CeCu4In and valence fluctuating compound CeNi4In

“…Our XRD measurements have shown that CeNi4In crystallizes in the cubic MgSnCu4 type structure (space group F-43m) with a = 7.062 Å in agreement with Ref. [13]. This structure evolves from CaCu5-type structure of CeNi5 as a result of partial substitution of Ni by In.…”

Thermoelectric power in (, Ni; , Ga) compounds

“…The studies of TEP carried out by Koterlyn et al [15] for CeNi 4 In have revealed negative thermopower in the whole temperature range studied. This compound was suggested to be in the saturated valence (SV) state.…”

A New $\rm{^{1}_{\infty }}$[Ni 7 ] Cluster in LaNi 7 In 6 and Distorted bcc Indium Cubes in LaNiIn 4

“…Besides some structures with Ni 2 pairs only the structures of CeNi 4 In, LaNi 2 In, Ce 4 Ni 7 In 8 , and LaNi 7 In 6 contain larger cluster units as presented in Figure 2. The cluster with the highest symmetry occurs in CeNi 4 In32 where the nickel atoms form a three‐dimensional network of corner‐sharing tetrahedra with Ni−Ni distances of 250 pm. In LaNi 2 In33 the nickel cluster is two‐dimensional (Figure 2).…”
