Abstract

We show that three types of hexagonal Zn-Mg-rare-earth (RE) ternary compound are formed in the vicinity of Zn₆Mg₃RE₁. An electron diffraction study revealed that these phases are related with a lattice parameters by a ratio 3:5:7 but with approximately the same c parameters. A preliminary structural model for the phase with medium a parameter has been proposed by high-resolution electron microscopy, based on the structures of the other two phases recently determined. It is shown that the two-dimensional hexagonal superstructures can be described by two kinds of Zn-Mg clusters A and B, linked by RE atoms.
