Materials Data on Er3Cu11Si4 by Materials Project
Abstract
Er3Cu11Si4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to ten Cu and five Si atoms. There are a spread of Er–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.93–2.99 Å. There are one shorter (2.88 Å) and four longer (3.10 Å) Er–Si bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Er, six Cu, and three Si atoms. There are a spread of Cu–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.76 Å. There are one shorter (2.62 Å) and two longer (2.64 Å) Cu–Si bond lengths. In the second Cu site, Cu is bonded to two equivalent Er, eight Cu, and two equivalent Si atoms to form distorted CuEr2Cu8Si2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuEr2Cu8Si2 cuboctahedra, corners with four equivalent SiEr4Cu8 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CuEr2Cu8Si2 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent SiEr4Cu8 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.56 Å) and two longer (2.58 Å) Cu–Cu bond lengths. Both Cu–Si bond lengths are 2.35 Å. In the third Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Er, six Cu, and three equivalent Simore »
