摘要
The crystal structure of the R(6)Si(4)Se(1)7 (R = La and Ce) selenides was studied by means of X-ray powder and single crystal diffraction. The magnetic behaviour of the Ce-based compound was determined through SQUID magnetometry. The two materials crystallize with the Ce6Si4S17 structure type (space group P (1) over bar, Pearson symbol aP54). Their unit cells comprise as many as six inequivalent positions of the rare-earth atoms. The compound Ce6Si4Se17 exhibits Curie-Weiss paramagnetism with no hint at any magnetic ordering down to 1.72 K. The magnetic susceptibility data indicates that the Ce ions in this compound may have fluctuating valence character. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
