Materials Data on Mg4Si3 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg4Si3 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.69–3.14 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to five Si atoms to form distorted corner-sharing MgSi5 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.67–3.12 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.28 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.91 Å. In the fifth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.74–3.07 Å. In the sixth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.74–3.19 Å. In the seventh Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometrymore »
