Abstract

A variant of the BaAl4 structure, the α-La3Al11 structural type is observed upon crystallization of the new ternary intermetallic phase Ln3Au2Al9 (Ln = Dy and Tb). Calculations of the electronic structure were used to investigate the characteristics of Au and Al atoms within the framework. The gray atoms in the picture of the structure prefer heteronuclear AuAl contacts over homonuclear AlAl and AuAu contacts.
