Abstract
The structure of an Sm3Ga5-xSnx compound that crystallizes with the Pu3Pd5 structure across a wide compositional range was presented. The evolution of the structure as a function of the Ga content was also studied by X-ray powder diffraction on ten Sm 3Ga5-xSnx samples. The extraction of a single crystal of Sm3Ga1.89Sn3.11 from an arc-melted Sm40Ga20Sn40 ingot annealed at 870 for one month was also discussed. It was shown that the 8g position remains occupied essentially exclusively by Sn atoms within the whole homogeneity range, with x ranging from 2.52 to 4.20.
