The equiatomic CeXX′ phases (X and X′ = elements of the 3rd, 4th, or 5th main group) extend the large series of CeTX intermetallics (T = electron-rich transition metal). These phases crystallize with simple structure types, i.e. ZrNiAl, TiNiSi, CeScSi, α-ThSi2, AlB2, and GdSi2. In contrast to the CeTX intermetallics one observes pronounced solid solutions for the CeXX′ phases. The main influence on the magnetic ground states results from theabsence of d electrons. All known CeXX′ phases show exclusively trivalent cerium and antiferro- or ferromagnetic ordering at low temperatures. The crystal chemical details and some structure-property relationships are reviewed.Read less <
