Materials Data on Yb2MgSe4 by Materials Project
Abstract
MgYb2Se4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Se bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.63 Å. There are two inequivalent Yb3+ sites. In the first Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form YbSe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent YbSe7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent YbSe6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent YbSe7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Yb–Se bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.06 Å. In the second Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to seven Se2- atoms to form distorted YbSe7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent YbSe6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent YbSe7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with four equivalent YbSe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. There are a spread of Yb–Se bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.21 Å. There are three inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+ and three Yb3+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to one Mg2+ and three Yb3+ atoms to form distorted SeYb3Mg trigonal pyramids that sharemore »
