Abstract

Structures of NiCd 6+d (20.32 ¡ d ¡ 0.35) -a c-brass related phase, and NiCd 1+d (0 ¡ d ¡ 0.05) -a Ti 2 Ni type phase in the nickel-cadmium system3

Substitution Patterns Understood through Chemical Pressure Analysis: Atom/Dumbbell and Ru/Co Ordering in Derivatives of YCo5

“…Most often, this involves atoms of two different elements randomly distributed over the same crystallographic sites. Substitutions of larger atom groups can arise as well, such as disorder in the coordination environment of an atom, leading to the possibility of several different polyhedra fitting into the same space. ,− In this article, we began examining how such substitution can be anticipated from the CP scheme of an idealized, unsubstituted parent structure, drawing specific examples from the Y–Co system. We considered two cases: the partial replacement of Y atoms with Co 2 dumbbells in YCo 5 to create the Th 2 Zn 17 -type compound Y 2 Co 17 , and the elemental site preferences in Ru-substituted variants of Y 2 Co 17 .…”

In-depth component distribution in electrodeposited alloys and multilayers

“…An earlier study showed that Co as a minor component beside Ni accumulates in the near-substrate zone in the same manner as Cd does [19]. However, due to the formation of various structurally incoherent phases (with the most likely composition of CdNi and Cd 5 Ni [23,[25][26][27]), the Ni-Cd system is not suitable for a depth profiling study in a wide concentration range.…”

Composite Icosahedron/Cube Endohedral Clusters in Rh2Cd15

“…How the electrons are transferred in Cd-rich binary phases of transition metals (T) with cadmium is not as obvious, however, due to the similar elecronegativities for late transition metals and cadmium. 10,11 Structurally, Cd atoms are known in multiple RE−T−Cd (T = transition metal) systems to form Cd 4 tetrahedral clusters, along with octahedral (Cd 6 ), icosahedral (Cd 12 ), and dodecahedral (Cd 20 ) clusters, analogous to those found in zinc chemistry. 12,13 On the basis of these observations, we have looked for and found the new binary endohedral cluster compound Rh 2 Cd 15 and measured its magnetic and electrical properties.…”

“…In LiCd, for example, the Cd n clusters use the electrons donated from the electropositive alkali metals to satisfy valence requirements. How the electrons are transferred in Cd-rich binary phases of transition metals ( T ) with cadmium is not as obvious, however, due to the similar elecronegativities for late transition metals and cadmium. , Structurally, Cd atoms are known in multiple RE – T –Cd ( T = transition metal) systems to form Cd 4 tetrahedral clusters, along with octahedral (Cd 6 ), icosahedral (Cd 12 ), and dodecahedral (Cd 20 ) clusters, analogous to those found in zinc chemistry. , …”
