Abstract
New boron-containing alloys of the formula EuPd3Bx have been synthesized by alloying EuPd3 (having the AuCu3-type structure) with boron. The boron presumably occupies the vacant body-centered position in the EuPd3 unit cell and results in the expansion of the lattice. The increase in cell volume is observed to be much larger in EuPd3Bx alloys compared to that, for instance, in LaPd3Bx and GdPd3Bx alloys and suggests a possible change in the valency of europium from trivalent towards divalent on boron addition. Susceptibility measurements on EuPd3Bx alloys have verified the valence change of europium ions.
