The phase diagrams of the ternary systems La-Ni-M (MÂ =Â Re, Ru, Os, Rh, Ir, Pd, Ag, Au) in the La-poor region

► Partial determination of 8 ternary phase diagrams. ► Study of the ternary extension of the CaCu5-type phase in these systems. ► Site occupancies and lattice parameters of the CaCu5-type phase.
