K. Kadir et al., Structural investigation and hydrogen capacity of CaMg2Ni9: a new phase inthe AB(2)C(9) system isostructural with LaMg2Ni9, J ALLOY COM, 284(1-2), 1999, pp. 145-154
A new ternary magnesium-based alloy CaMg2Ni9 has been synthesized, and its
crystal structure was determined by Guinier-Hagg X-ray and neutron powder d
iffraction, The compound has a hexagonal structure and is isostructural wit
h LaMg2Ni9 type, with Ca at the La atom site. The hydrogen absorption/desor
ption properties have been determined by thermal analysis and pressure-comp
osition isotherms. The electrochemical properties of the alloy were also ex
amined. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science BN. All rights reserved.
