3.5.1. LaNi 5<br />

The LaNi 5 obtained from Alfa Aesar was directly transferred to the sample holder<br />

of the X-ray diffractometer without any treatment. A sample of LaNi 5 was loaded in the<br />

XRD and four consecutive X-ray spectra of the same sample were obtained, and given in<br />

Figure 37 along with the expected spectrum for LaNi 5 . Inconsistencies within the peak<br />

intensities were observed, yet the elemental analysis proved that the composition of the<br />
