Summary: A series of Cu2-xMxCd compounds were prepared by high temperature solid state synthesis, and it was found that the valence electron concentration (VEC) correlated with phase stability. The incorporation of M (Zn, Ga, Ge, Sn) led to the formation of gamma-brass type and MgCu2 type Laves phases. The cubic Laves phases were stable within a narrow homogeneity range, whereas at higher M content, the stable pseudo-binary cubic phase transformed into binary compounds. First principles density functional theory calculations were used to explain the stability and bonding characteristics of the pseudo-binary Laves phases.
