Abstract

The crystal structures of two low temperature B8₂ related superstructure phases in the nickel indium system, Ni₁₃In₉ and Ni_7-δIn_3, have been refined and described in relation to the underlying parent Ni₂In structure-type. They are isostructural to In₁₃Pt₉ and Cu₇In₃, respectively and both accommodate the change in stoichiometry from Ni₂In by forming "same atom" structural motifs, In-centred indium octahedral units in the case of Ni₁₃In₉ and trigonal bipyramidal nickel units in the case of Ni_7-δIn₃. A sample with the nominal composition Ni₅In₃, reported to form part of a solid solution in the binary phase diagram, is not stable at 400 °C and forms a two-phase mix of Ni_7-δIn₃ and Ni₁₃In₉.
