Synthetic exploration of ternary rare earth metal-rich tellurides and novel magnetic properties of gadolinium halide clusters /

This dissertation focuses on the exploratory synthesis of rare earth metal-rich ternary tellurides and the synthesis and magnetic properties of gadolinium halide cluster compounds. "Polar-intermetallic" bonding between the early- and late- transition metals has been exploited as a strateg...
