Is there a missing rare earth crystal structure?

A new close-packed crystal structure is suggested as a possible addition to the trivalent rare earth structure series. Atomic-sphere approximation canonical d-band calculations show a small region of stability for this structure between the double hexagonal close packed and face centered cubic phase...

Summary:A new close-packed crystal structure is suggested as a possible addition to the trivalent rare earth structure series. Atomic-sphere approximation canonical d-band calculations show a small region of stability for this structure between the double hexagonal close packed and face centered cubic phases.
