Ag – Pm (Silver – Prometium)
Phase diagram
Saccone et al. [90 Sac] have estimated phase equilibria assuming similarity to known systems of Ag with
lanthanides. Okamoto [91 Oka] has discussed this procedure. The phase diagram given there is
reproduced in Fig. 1.
Crystal structure
Saccone et al. [90 Sac] have predicted the structure and lattice parameters of intermediate phases.
Crystallographic data of these compounds are compiled in Table 1.
