Title: Materials Data on CsTmCdTe3 by Materials Project

Abstract

CsTmCdTe3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Te2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Te bond distances ranging from 3.95–4.17 Å. Tm3+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form TmTe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TmTe6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent TmTe6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent CdTe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 42°. There are four shorter (3.10 Å) and two longer (3.16 Å) Tm–Te bond lengths. Cd2+ is bonded to four Te2- atoms to form CdTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CdTe4 tetrahedra and edges with four equivalent TmTe6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and two longer (2.88 Å) Cd–Te bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs1+, two equivalent Tm3+, and one Cd2+ atom. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+, two equivalent Tm3+, and two equivalent Cd2+ atoms.
