One-dimensional Gold Clusters in HP-Ce₇Au_13+xGe_10–x

Abstract

Single crystals of the high-pressure phase Ce 7 Au 13+x Ge 10−x were obtained by treating CeAuGe at 9.5 GPa and 1473 -1523 K in a multi-anvil press. The structure of Ce 7 Au 13.35 Ge 9.65 was refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: new type, Pbam, a = 1571.9(3), b = 1780.3(4), c = 443.58 (9)
