Equilibrium phase diagrams for the ternary systems Nd-{Cr,Fe,Co,Zn}-Sb at 8
70 K have been determined and analyzed for the first rime. The phase field
distributions in these systems at 870 K are characterized by the presence o
f only a small number of ternary compounds: For M=Cr, Fe, Co and Zn we obse
rved one, two, and three ternary antimonides, respectively. (C) 1999 Elsevi
