Materials Data on LaMg14Ga by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg14LaGa crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to ten Mg and two equivalent La atoms to form distorted MgLa2Mg10 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent GaMg12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen MgLa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent LaMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen MgLa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent LaMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen MgLa2Mg10 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.41 Å. Both Mg–La bond lengths are 3.27 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to ten Mg and two equivalent Ga atoms to form distorted MgMg10Ga2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent LaMg12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen MgLa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent GaMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen MgMg10Ga2 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent GaMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen MgLa2Mg10 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.33 Å. Both Mg–Ga bond lengths are 3.27 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to ten Mg, one La, and one Ga atom to form distorted MgLaMg10Ga cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen MgMg12 cuboctahedra, edgesmore »
