Investigation of the interaction of the components in the Sm–Pd–Si system

A variety of physicochemical analysis techniques was employed in constructing the isothermal section of the phase diagram of the Sm–Pd–Si system at 870 K. Several new ternary compounds Sm ₃Pd _21.7–18.8Ge _4.3–7.2, Sm _0.12Pd _0.63Si _0.25, Sm _0.12Pd _0.58Si _0.30, Sm _0.165Pd _0.72Si _0.115, SmPd _2.–1.75Si _2.0–2.25, Sm ₂Pd ₃Si ₅, Sm _0.20Pd _0.25Si _0.55, SmPdSi ₃, SmPd ₂Si, SmPd _1.6Si _0.4, Sm _0.335Pd _0.445Si _0.22, SmPdSi, SmPd _0.75–0.65Si _1.25–1.35, SmPd _0.35–0.20Si _1.65–1.80, Sm ₃Pd ₂Si ₂, Sm _0.45Pd _0.10Si ₄₅, Sm _0.50Pd _0.38–0.30Si ₀, _12–0.20 were found. The temperature dependences of the specific resistance were investigated for Sm ₂₀Pd ₄₅Si ₃₅, SmPd ₂Si ₂, Sm ₂₀Pd ₃₈Si ₄₂ and Sm ₂₀Pd ₃₅Si _45..
