Bonding in intermetallics may be deceptive – the case of the new type structure Au2InGa2
Author
Summary, in English
We have investigated the crystal and the electronic structure of a new ternary phase, Au2InGa2 using powder and single crystal X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Stuttgart Tight Binding LMTO-ASA methods, respectively. Complementary methods including Thermo-Gravimetric Differential Thermal Analysis (TG-DTA), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were also employed. As a result, the complete structure was determined and the role of homoatomic and heteroatomic bonding is discussed.
