Crystallographic, magnetic and electrical characteristics of R^sub 3^Ni^sub 8^Sn^sub 4^ compounds (R = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, and Tb)

The R3Ni8Sn4 compounds (R = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, and Tb) have been synthesized and studied by powder X-ray diffraction, magnetic and electrical properties measurements. They crystallize in Lu3Co7.77Sn4 structure type (space group P63mc), and are characterized by different occupancy of some atomic position...
