Investigation of the interaction between the components in the Zr–Mn–In system at 870 K

Abstract

The isothermal section of the Zr–Mn–In system at 870 K was constructed using X-ray powder diffraction phase analysis. The formation of Zr(Mn 0.23In 0.77) 3 (AuCu 3 structure type, space group Pm 3 ̄ m , a=4.3648(1) Å) was observed. The boundaries of the homogeneity region of ZrMn 2 at 870 K were determined. A comparison of the Zr–Mn–In system with related systems was made.
