摘要
Ternary compound LaCo2Ge2 was synthesized and characterized by means of XRD, magnetic and electrical measurements. Rietveld structure refinements of powder XRD patterns confirm that LaCo2Ge2 compound crystallizes with a body-centered tetragonal structure of ThCr2Si2-type (space group I4/mmm) with the unit lattice parameters a=4.105(6) angstrom and c=10.264(7) angstrom. Nd, Co and Ge occupy 2a, 4d and 4e crystal positions, respectively. Magnetism measurements show that LaCo2Ge2 is nearly temperature-impendent Pauli paramagnetic down to 100 K, whereas orders diamagnetic at elevated temperatures. The rho (T) measurement showed that rho(0) is 0.34625 Omega.mu m and a positive temperature coefficient for LaCo2Ge2 is equal to 0.82178, indicating that LaCo2Ge2 exhibits typical semimetallic.
