Abstract
The stannide NdRhSn was synthesized from the elements in a sealed tantalum tube. The structure was investigated on the basis of X-ray powder and single crystal data: ZrNiAl type, P 6 ¯ 2 m , a = 741.3 ( 1 ) , c = 412.90 ( 9 ) pm , wR 2 = 0.0266 , 354 F 2 values and 14 variable parameters. The neodymium atoms fill distorted hexagonal channels within the three-dimensional [RhSn] network. The magnetic and electronic properties of NdRhSn have been studied by means of AC and DC magnetic susceptibility measurements as well as 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. A transition from a paramagnetic to a ferromagnetic state was found at T C = 10.3 K .
