Abstract
MAu2Si2 type compounds of the LaEr rare-earth metals crystallize in the ThCr2Si2-type body-centered tetragonal structure. Lattice constants and atomic parameters were determined, and the interatomic distances calculated and compared with corresponding data of MAg2Si2 compounds. The radii RAU = 1.36 A ̊ and Rag = 1.18 A ̊ found are very close to the ionic radii of these atoms. The radii of silicon has the value of the atomic radius in the silver compounds and the covalent radius in the gold compounds.
