Materials Data on LiHo3 by Materials Project
LiHo3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to twelve equivalent Ho atoms to form LiHo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiHo12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent HoLi4Ho8 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent HoLi4Ho8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent LiHo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent HoLi4Ho8 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.40 Å) and six longer (3.49 Å) Li–Ho bond lengths. Ho is bonded to four equivalent Li and eight equivalent Ho atoms to form distorted HoLi4Ho8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiHo12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent HoLi4Ho8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent LiHo12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent HoLi4Ho8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent LiHo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent HoLi4Ho8 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Ho–Ho bond distances ranging from 3.42–3.53 Å.
