The isothermal section at 700 degrees C in the Co-rich ternary Sm-Co-B system was determined by means of X-ray diffraction. In this range, nine ternary borides were observed: Sm3Co13B2, SmCo4B, Sm3Co11B4, Sm2Co7B3, SmCo3B2, Sm2Co14B, SmCo12B6, SmCo4B4, SmCo2B2. The first five borides are members of the homologous series Smm + nCo5m + 3nB2n formed by alternative stacking m layers of SmCo5 with n layers of SmCo3B2 along the c-axis. The compound Sm3Co13B2 was not reported in previous isothermal sections found in the literature. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
