Silver - Cerium - Palladium

Eberhard E. Schmid

Introduction

Using X-ray diffraction [82War] investigated the expansion of the binary CePd₃ phase into the ternary field, replacing Pd by Ag. The alloys were prepared by arc melting under an argon atmosphere, using premelted alloys of Pd + Ce together with Ag. The purity of the starting elements was 99.9%. The sample powders were annealed at 700°C for 7 days.
