The synthesis of a series of layered iron arsenides Ca 1− x RE x FeAs 2 (112) was attempted by heating at 1000 °C under a high pressure of 2 GPa. The 112 phase successfully forms with rare earth ( RE ) = La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, and Gd, while RE -free samples do not contain the 112 phase. While a Ce-doped sample does not s…
