| Popis: | New ternary silicides have been discovered with the general formula R4T13X9, where R is a rare earth or uranium, T is rhodium or iridium and X is silicon or germanium. The crystal structure has been solved on a single crystal. The symmetry is orthorhombic with space group Pnmm. The lattice constants for Er4Ir13Si9 are a = 18.848(3) A , b = 10.918(2) A and c = 3.9153(5) A . The formation of the various members of this new family is in competition with that of the well-known ternary silicides RT3X2. Their existence as a function of the various elements (rare earth and transition metals) is discussed. The magnetic properties of the iridium-based compounds are presented. All the samples containing a paramagnetic rare earth are magnetically ordered at low temperature. U4Ir13Si9 and U4Ir13Ge9 exhibit two ordering transition temperatures: 18 and 6.4. K for the silicide and 25 and 7 K for the germanide. |
