Ternary Ce–Co–Ge system

Abstract

Isothermal sections of the phase diagrams of the ternary system Ce–Co–Ge at 870 K (0–50 at.% Ce) and 670 K (50–100 at.% Ce) have been constructed. Eleven ternary compounds have been found to exist. A critical characterization of the interaction of rare earth elements (La–Gd) with cobalt and germanium has been made.
