“…Five intermetallic compounds, i.e., AlDy 2 , Al 2 Dy 3 , AlDy, Al 2 Dy and Al 3 Dy presented in the Al-Dy binary phase diagram in the Refs. [25,30,31] have been confirmed to exist in our work. Pop et al [32] reported a binary compound Al 17 Dy 2 with hexagonal Ni 17 Th 2 type structure (space group P6 3/mmc , a = 1.1788 nm, and c = 1.1322 nm) in the Al-Dy system.…”
