“…To explore the thermodynamic stability of Dy 4 C 3 , Dy 2 C 3 , and Dy 3 C 2 in comparison to other Dy carbides, convex hull diagrams were constructed considering known carbides [Dy 2 C ( Atoji, 1981 ), Dy 4 C 5 ( Czekalla et al, 1997 ; Babizhetskyy et al, 2019 ; The Materials Project, 2020b ), Dy 3 C 4 ( Hüfken and Jeitschko, 1998 ; The Materials Project, 2020a ), DyC 2 ( Adachi et al, 1976 )] at various pressures. Structure models for Dy 4 C 5 (α-Y 4 C 5 type) ( The Materials Project, 2020b ) and Dy 3 C 4 (Sc 3 C 4 type) ( The Materials Project, 2020a ) were acquired from Materials Project database, while those for Dy 2 C ( Atoji, 1981 ) and DyC 2 ( Adachi et al, 1976 )–from CIFs deposited in the ICSD database.…”
