Description

R5(Si xGe1-x)4 alloys, where R is Tb, Dy, and Er, have been examined. Their microstructures consisted of large grains with thin plates of a second phase. Energy dispersive spectrometry of the plates revealed a rare earth rich composition. It is proposed that the plates are R5(Si xGe1-x)3 compounds, similar to results seen in Gd5(Si xGe1-x)4
