Materials Data on Dy2NbGaO7 by Materials Project
Dy2NbGaO7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy3+ sites. In the first Dy3+ site, Dy3+ is bonded to eight O2- atoms to form distorted DyO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with two equivalent DyO8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent GaO6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent NbO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Dy–O bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.52 Å. In the second Dy3+ site, Dy3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Dy–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.51 Å. Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NbO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent GaO6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent DyO8 hexagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. There are four shorter (1.99 Å) and two longer (2.03 Å) Nb–O bond lengths. Ga3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form GaO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent GaO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent NbO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent DyO8 hexagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–52°. There are two shorter (1.99 Å) and four longer (2.03 Å) Ga–O bond lengths. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Dy3+ atoms to form ODy4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight ODy4 tetrahedra and edges with two ODy2Nb2 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Dy3+ and two equivalent Nb5+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ODy2Nb2 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Dy3+ and two equivalent Ga3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ODy2Ga2 tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Dy3+, one Nb5+, and one Ga3+ atom.
