Title: Materials Data on Dy2MgS4 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgDy2S4 is Spinel-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form MgS4 tetrahedra that share corners with six DyS6 octahedra and edges with three DyS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 59–66°. There are a spread of Mg–S bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.48 Å. There are two inequivalent Dy3+ sites. In the first Dy3+ site, Dy3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form DyS6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent DyS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MgS4 tetrahedra, edges with four DyS6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent MgS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–55°. There are a spread of Dy–S bond distances ranging from 2.71–2.77 Å. In the second Dy3+ site, Dy3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form DyS6 octahedra that share corners with eight DyS6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent MgS4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent DyS6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one MgS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–55°. There are a spread of Dy–S bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.81 Å. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2-more » site, S2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg2+ and three Dy3+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg2+ and three Dy3+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded to one Mg2+ and three Dy3+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing SDy3Mg trigonal pyramids.« less
