New ternary rare-earth antimonides and germanides: bonding, structures, and physical properties
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis focuses on the synthesis, structures, and physical properties of ternary rare-earth antimonides and germanides. These ternary compounds exhibit diverse polyanionic substructures with classical and non-classical Sb–Sb bonding, Ge–Ge bonding, or both. The Zintl-Klemm concept and band...

Spring 2019
Ternary and quaternary germanides containing rare-earth and transition metals are of interest because of their structural diversity and the potential for interactions between f- and d-electrons. Within the Ce–Rh–Ge system, three new ternary phases Ce3Rh11Ge5, CeRh5Ge3, and CeRh3Ge2 were prepared...

Fall 2016
This thesis focuses on the experimental and theoretical study of various rare-earth transition-metal germanides that contain three or four components. Ternary and quaternary germanides were synthesized through various methods, including direct reaction of the elements, arc-melting, and flux...
