Abstract
X-ray diffraction has been applied to the component interaction study in the ternary Tm ― Mn ― B system, and the 1070 K isothermal section of the phase diagram has been constructed. The ternary boride TmMnB4 is confirmed as present, which has the YCrB4 structure type (space group Pbam, a = 0.5868-0.5894 nm; b = 1.1320-1.1370 nm; c = 0.3368-0.34018 nm). The lattice parameter variation indicates that the ternary boride has only a narrow homogeneity region, which is in the direction of higher manganese contents. There are no solid solutions based on binary compounds in the Tm ― Mn ― B system.
