Study of New Ternary Rare-Earth Intermetallic Germanides with Polar Covalent Bonding: Beyond the Zintl Picture by Riccardo FrecceroEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 237 Pages | ISBN : 3030589919 | 60.8 MB
The thesis focuses on the syntheses, structural characterizations and chemical bonding analyses for several ternary R–M–Ge (R = rare earth metal; M = another metal) intermetallics. The challenges in understanding the main interactions governing the chemistry of these compounds, which lead to our inability to predict their formation, structure and properties, are what provided the motivation for this study.
