Description

New ternary silicides RE2Rh3Si5 (RE = Y, La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) have been prepared. They crystalize in the U2Co3Si5-type structure. Only the silicides containing the diamagnetic rare earths Y and La show a superconducting transition at T /SUB cr/ = 4.4 + or - 0.2K and T /SUB cr/ = 2.7 + or - 0.1K respectively, those with magnetic rare earths order antiferromagnetically at low temperature
