The Editorial Committee of Materials Transactions has affirmed that this article contains the following errors1) that are improper for scientific paper, and retracts this article with the primary author's agreement.
A) The photograph of Zr-Al-Cu-Ni-Ag samples shown in Fig.1 is the photograph of Nd-Fe-Al samples as given in Fig.2 in the paper,2) and is a patched one of Fig.2 in the paper.3)
B) The sample diameters described in the caption of Fig.1, and in the text (Results, line 2, p.1383) do not agree with the picture (Fig.1).
C) The X-ray diffraction patterns of samples shown in Figs.2 and 6 were previously published as Figs.3 and 6 in the paper3) respectively, with different heat-treatment conditions and with different indices.
D) This article contains no proper descriptions of the relationship between this article and the paper,3) including the different experimental conditions and the different conclusions.
The notice has been issued to the authors to pay more careful attention to contributing papers.
