Ln<sub>117</sub>Ni<sub>53–<i>y</i></sub>Sn<sub>112–<i>z</i></sub> (Ln = Gd–Dy) have been
grown via the eutectoid flux growth method, characterized using single
crystal X-ray diffraction, and determined to have a face centered
cubic unit cell with lattice parameters of <i>a</i> = 30.070(4),
29.862(5), and 29.823(4) Å for the Gd, Dy, and Tb analogues.
The compounds contain over 1100 atoms per unit cell with a complex
bonding network and multiple magnetic sublattices. In addition, disorder
is prevalent throughout the structure. These physical characteristics
are ideal when searching for ultralow thermal conductivity materials.
Magnetic susceptibility and electrical properties are presented, and
all analogues exhibit positive Curie–Weiss constants, suggesting
ferromagnetic interactions in each compound, in addition to a spin-glass
component to the magnetic behavior.
