Laves phases are intermetallic phases that have composition AB₂ and are named for Fritz Laves who first described them. The phases are classified on the basis of geometry alone. There are three different classification classes: cubic MgCu₂ (C15), hexagonal MgZn₂ (C14), and hexagonal MgNi₂ (C36). The latter two classes are unique forms of the hexagonal arrangement, but share the same basic structure.
