Materials Data on ErAlNi4 by Materials Project
Abstract
ErNi4Al crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to fifteen Ni and three equivalent Al atoms. There are three shorter (2.90 Å) and twelve longer (3.16 Å) Er–Ni bond lengths. All Er–Al bond lengths are 2.90 Å. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded to three equivalent Er, six equivalent Ni, and three equivalent Al atoms to form NiEr3Al3Ni6 cuboctahedra that share corners with nine equivalent AlEr3Ni9 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent NiEr4Al2Ni6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent NiEr3Al3Ni6 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent AlEr3Ni9 cuboctahedra, and faces with twenty NiEr3Al3Ni6 cuboctahedra. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.40 Å. All Ni–Al bond lengths are 2.90 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded to four equivalent Er, six Ni, and two equivalent Al atoms to form distorted NiEr4Al2Ni6 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent AlEr3Ni9 cuboctahedra, corners with twenty NiEr3Al3Ni6 cuboctahedra, edges with ten equivalent NiEr4Al2Ni6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent AlEr3Ni9 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen NiEr3Al3Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.48 Å) and two longer (2.54 Å) Ni–Ni bond lengths. Both Ni–Al bond lengths are 2.42 Å.more »
