Sm5Ga3
Abstract
Single crystals of pentasamarium trigallium, Sm5Ga3, display tetragonal symmetry. The crystal structure was solved and refined in space group P4/ncc. The present work does not confirm the space group I4/mcm previously deduced from powder data measurements. One Sm atom is in a general position, and the other Sm atom and one of the Ga atoms are at sites with fourfold symmetry. The remaining Ga atom is at a site with twofold symmetry.
