The microstructure of the three alloys consists of magnesium dendrites with the Long Period Stacking Ordered (LPSO) phase at interdendritic regions. Rare-earth atoms substitute yttrium atoms in the LPSO phase, promoting the formation of the 14H structure. Lattice parameters of the LPSO do not change significantly with the rare-earth addition. However, they reduce the melting point of the LPSO phase, especially in the case of neodymium addition.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1007/s10853-013-7967-4} (DOI).
