Abstract

Rietveld Analysis on X-Ray powder diffraction data was used to build a comprehensive model of the structures in gallmm rich R-Ga systems (R is a rare earth between La and Gd). The ability to refine occupation factors as well as atomic positions allowed for the analysis of the e solid solution, its structural relation to the ordered ∊′ phase, and the unique role of the Ga-Ga pairs in these systems.
