Neodymium bismuthide
Neodymium bismuthide or Bismuth-Neodymium[4] is a binary inorganic compound of neodymium and bismuth with the formula NdBi. It forms crystals. PreparationNeodymium bismuthide can be prepared by reacting a stoichiometric amount of neodymium and bismuth at 1900°C:[citation needed]
Physical propertiesNeodymium bismuthide forms cubic crystals of the space group Fm3m, with cell parameters a = 0.64222 nm, Z = 4 with a structure like sodium chloride.[5] The compound melts at 1900°C.[2] At a temperature of 24 K, an antiferromagnetic transition occurs in the compound.[6] References
