Materials Data on CaEu2(GeO3)4 by Materials Project
Abstract
CaEu2(GeO3)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CaO6 octahedra that share corners with eight GeO4 tetrahedra. There are four shorter (2.31 Å) and two longer (2.59 Å) Ca–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Eu3+ sites. In the first Eu3+ site, Eu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form EuO6 octahedra that share corners with eight GeO4 tetrahedra. There are four shorter (2.28 Å) and two longer (2.57 Å) Eu–O bond lengths. In the second Eu3+ site, Eu3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Eu–O bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.49 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CaO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent EuO6 octahedra, and corners with two equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–69°. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.73–1.83 Å. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalentmore »
