Materials Data on Yb(Ga3Te5)2 by Materials Project
Abstract
YbGa6Te10 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb2+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form distorted YbTe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent YbTe6 octahedra, corners with four GaTe4 tetrahedra, and edges with four GaTe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 22–24°. There are a spread of Yb–Te bond distances ranging from 3.22–3.34 Å. There are six inequivalent Ga3+ sites. In the first Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to four Te2- atoms to form GaTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with six GaTe4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one YbTe6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ga–Te bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.73 Å. In the second Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to four Te2- atoms to form GaTe4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one YbTe6 octahedra and corners with six GaTe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 69°. There are a spread of Ga–Te bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.73 Å. In the third Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to four Te2- atoms to form GaTe4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one YbTe6 octahedra, corners with four GaTe4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one YbTe6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with onemore »
