Abstract

Single crystals of Ce₃(Ni/Al/Ga)₁₁ were obtained from an Al flux reaction. Single crystals of the title compound crystallizing in the orthorhombic space group Immm (No. 71, Z = 2) with a = 436.38(14), b = 1004.5(3) and c = 1293.4(4) pm. This is a standardized unit cell of the previously published La₃Al₁₁ structure type. Wavelength dispersive microprobe provides the composition of Ce_3.11(1)Ni_0.03(1)Al_8.95(1)Ga_1.90(1). Single crystal refinement provides the composition Ce₃Ni_0.08Al_9.13Ga_1.78 with substitution of the Ni and Ga on the Al1 and Al4 sites with the Al2 and Al3 solely occupied by Al. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal antiferromagnetic ordering with TN = 4.8 K and there is no evidence for a ferromagnetic ordering that has been reported for Ce₃Al₁₁. The effective magnetic moment was found to be μ_eff = 1.9μ_B/Ce, which is lower than the expected value for trivalent Ce (2.54μ_B/Ce).
