Synthesis, Crystal Growth, Magnetic and Transport Properties of Ln-M-X (Ln=lanthanide, M=transition metal, X=In, Ga) Compounds

ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on the structural stability, magnetic and transport properties of ternary lanthanide compounds grown using indium and gallium flux. Single crystals of TbRhIn5 were synthesized using indium flux. TbRhIn5 is isostructural to the well known LnnMIn3n+2 (n = 1, 2, ∞; Ln...
