Materials Data on Er2MgSe4 by Materials Project
Abstract
MgEr2Se4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pca2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form MgSe6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one ErSe6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MgSe6 octahedra, corners with four ErSe7 pentagonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one MgSe6 octahedra, edges with four ErSe6 octahedra, and edges with three ErSe7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 13–54°. There are a spread of Mg–Se bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.96 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form MgSe6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one ErSe6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MgSe6 octahedra, corners with four ErSe7 pentagonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one MgSe6 octahedra, edges with four ErSe6 octahedra, and edges with three ErSe7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 13–54°. There are a spread of Mg–Se bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.87 Å. There are four inequivalent Er3+ sites. In the first Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form ErSe6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one MgSe6 octahedra, corners with two equivalentmore »
