EQUIATOMIC TERNARY PHASES IN THE ALLOYS OF THE RARE EARTHS WITH INDIUM AND NICKEL OR PALLADIUM.

Preparation and examination by chemical, metallographic, and x-ray analyses and density determinations of ternary rare earth/indium compounds with either Ni or Pd as the third constituent is described. The structure of these compounds was of the Fe//2P type. Lattice constants and other data are tabulated together with literature data.
