Abstract

The crystal structures of gadolinium, dysprosium, and erbium metals have been determined over a wide temperature range. The metals are hexagonal close packed and the a0 unit axis contracts nearly linearly with decreasing temperature, whereas the c0 unit axis exhibits an abnormal expansion with decreasing temperature below magnetic transformations of the metals. The c0 behavior is believed to be associated with the magnetic properties of the metals.
