O. Moze et al., NOTE ON THE CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE AND MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF THE COMPOUNDS CE2NI17SI9 AND CE2CO17SI9, Journal of alloys and compounds, 235(1), 1996, pp. 62-65
The crystal structures of the compounds Ce2Ni17Si9 and Ce2Co17Si9 have
been studied by time-of-flight neutron diffraction at room temperatur
e. Both compounds have a tetragonal structure that is derived from the
cubic NaZn13 structure type. A strong site preference of the Si atoms
was observed. From magnetic measurements it is derived that the Ce at
oms in both compounds do not carry a magnetic moment.
