The three Laves phases are intermetallic compounds composed of CN12 and CN16 polyhedra with AB stoichiometry, commonly seen in binary metal systems like MgZn. Due to the small solubility of AB structures, Laves phases are almost line compounds, though sometimes they can have a wide homogeneity region.
