ChemInform Abstract: New Tetragonal Derivatives of Cubic NaZn13‐Type Structure: RNi6Si6 Compounds, Crystal Structure and Magnetic Ordering (R: Y, La, Ce, Sm, Gd—Yb).

Abstract Novel LnNi 6 Si 6 intermetallic alloys (Ln: La, Ce, Y, Sm, Gd—Yb) are prepared by arc melting of the elements followed by annealing (1070 K, 200 h; quenching).
