Abstract:

Crystals of the quaternary compounds α-Lu(Al_1-xT_x)B₄ (T = Fe, Cr) (YCrB₄-type, orthorhombic, Pbam), obtained from the nominal composition of Lu(Al_1-xT_x)B₃, were grown by using Al flux mixed with T metal at 1773 K for 5 h under an Ar atmosphere. The maximum dimensions and morphology of the crystals obtained were about 0.7 mm × 0.5 mm for flake-type crystals of Lu(Al_1-xCr_x)B₄ and about 5.2 mm × 0.2 mm for prism crystals of Lu(Al_1-xFe_x)B₄. The lattice constants determination and chemical analyses of Lu(Al_1-xT_x)B₄ (T = Fe, Cr) compounds were carried out for Fe 0.5 - 10.0 at% and Cr 0.5 - 1.0 at%. The lattice constants and the unit lattice volume in Lu(Al_1-xT_x)B₄ crystals decreased with increase of the concentration of Fe or Cr. The values of micro-Vickers hardness of Lu(Al_1-xFe_x)B₄ (x = 0.005 - 0.030) and Lu(Al_1-xCr_x)B₄ (x = 0.005 - 0.010) samples are in the ranges of 16(2) - 20(3) GPa and 13(2) - 16(3) GPa, respectively. The hardness values showed a little increase as the solid solution of Fe or Cr was realized in Lu(Al_1-xT_x)B₄, possibly because of distortion to the crystal structure. The magnetic susceptibility of as-grown Lu(Al_0.995Fe_0.005)B₄ crystals for example, exhibited diamagnetic behavior with a small ferromagnetic component.
