Materials Data on Mg16UAl12 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg16UAl12 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and five Al atoms. Both Mg–Mg bond lengths are 3.31 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Al bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.22 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to seven Mg, one U, and five Al atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.39 Å. The Mg–U bond length is 3.13 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Al bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.10 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg, one U, and twelve Al atoms. All Mg–Mg bond lengths are 3.16 Å. The Mg–U bond length is 3.29 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Al bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.23 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two Mg and six Al atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Al bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.12 Å. In the fifth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometrymore »
