Abstract
The crystal structure of the ternary phosphide Ce2Ni12P5 (La2Ni12P5-type structure) has been determined from X-ray powder diffraction data: full profile refinement, monoclinic symmetry, space group P21/m, a = 10.7809(2) Å, b = 3.6869(1) Å, c = 13.1490(3) Å, β = 107.776(4)º, RI = 0.068, RP = 0.044, RwP = 0.060. Ce2Ni12P5 is a ferromagnet with a Curie temperature of 5.8(5) K. A significant deviation from the linearity of the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance for Ce2Ni12P5 has been found. The low-temperature part of the electrical resistance indicates the presence of magnetic interactions in Ce2Ni12P5. The influence of a magnetic field on the electrical resistance of Ce2Ni12P5 has been studied. The X-ray absorption spectrum at the Ce LIII edge and X-ray emission spectra of Ni and P at the K and LIII edges have been studied experimentally and theoretically using DFT+U calculations. The calculations show good agreement with the experimental measurements. The effective valence of Ce in Ce2Ni12P5 determined based on the Ce LIII absorption spectrum is ϑeff ∼ 3.05.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
