“…In addition, in the Gd 5 Si 4‐ x M x ( M = Ge, Sn, and Bi) system, M also tends to occupy the M 1 site ( r (Ge) = 1.22 Å, r (Sn) = 1.40 Å, and r (Bi) = 1.52 Å) . There exist some exceptions, which hardly follow this kind of size‐factor criterion, such as Gd 5 Si 4‐ x P x and Gd 5 Ge 4‐ x P x , where the smaller P prefers to occupy the larger M 1 site ( r (P) = 1.10 Å) . However, these exceptional compounds adopted the Sm 5 Ge 4 ‐type structure, where the M 1 atoms were considered as terminal atoms.…”
