Materials Data on Er2MgSe4 by Materials Project
Abstract
MgEr2Se4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to four Se2- atoms to form MgSe4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent ErSe6 pentagonal pyramids and a faceface with one ErSe6 pentagonal pyramid. There are a spread of Mg–Se bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.61 Å. There are two inequivalent Er3+ sites. In the first Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Er–Se bond distances ranging from 2.76–3.34 Å. In the second Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form distorted ErSe6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent MgSe4 trigonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent ErSe6 pentagonal pyramids, and a faceface with one MgSe4 trigonal pyramid. There are a spread of Er–Se bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.95 Å. There are three inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+ and four Er3+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to one Mg2+ and two Er3+ atoms. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to onemore »
