The phase relation of the Er-Fe-Sb ternary system at 773 K has been investigated mainly by means of X-ray powder diffraction with the aid of optical microscopy and differential thermal analysis. This section consists of 12 single-phase regions, 22 two-phase regions and 11 three-phase regions. A ternary compound Er6FeSb2 has been confirmed.

Single crystals of LnFeSb3 (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, and Tb) have been grown from excess Sb flux. The crystal structure consists of ∞2[FeSb2] octahedra separated by layers of Ln atoms and nearly square planar nets of ∞ 2[Sb2]. These compounds are metallic and display anisotropic magnetic properties. Long-range antiferromagnetic order is observed in the Sm, Gd, and Tb samples when the magnetic field is applied along the crystallographic a-axis. Evidence of magnetic ordering in all the samples is observed for the field applied parallel to the layers. The magnetic properties are well-described by considering only the magnetic interactions between the Ln 4f moments, with no contribution from the Fe sublattice. Herein, we report the crystal growth, structure, magnetization, transport, and chemical stabilities of the title compounds. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
121Sb MOESSBAUER INVESTIGATION OF THE RARE EARTH ANTIMONIDES.
Holbourn,Woodhams
, p. 186 - 194 (2008/10/09)
**1**2**1Sb Moessbauer spectra have been obtained for the series R Sb (R equals La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb) at 78 K and for a selection of the compounds at 5. 5 K. At 78 K all the spectra show a single line. The isomer shifts are close to that of InSb and show a linear increase with increasing atomic number of the rare earth ion. Many of the rare earth antimonides exhibit a variety of magnetic and structural phase transitions at a sufficiently low temperature. Spectra obtained at 5. 5 K are interpreted in terms of these phase transitions.
