Miller, Iowa State University, DMR 0605949 GOAL: establish structure-bonding-property relationships for complex intermetallic compounds in order to tailor new compounds with desired features. HIGHLIGHTS from 1-Oct-2007 – 30-Sep-2008 When no compounds exist in the binary phases, “stoichiometric” doping with an active metal enhances mixing and compound formation: Eu-Ag-Al Eu-Zn-Ge
