“…The Al 8 Fe 4 RE IMCs are observed at the Al-rich corner, and they have a tetragonal crystal structure. The 17 Al 8 Fe 4 RE (RE = Sc, Y, La, Ce, Nd, Eu–Er, and Lu) IMCs have also been previously determined in experiments [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. Using the empirical electron theory (EET), Al 8 Fe 4 Ce was found to be favorable for the stability of the Al-based alloy as a strengthening phase [15].…”
