Title: Materials Data on MgSi2 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgSi2 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to eight Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.70–3.03 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to seven Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.14 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to nine Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.81–3.18 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.06 Å. There are eight inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Mg and three Si atoms. There are a spread of Si–Si bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.51 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Mg and four Si atoms. There are a spread of Si–Si bond distances rangingmore » from 2.41–2.58 Å. In the third Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Mg and four Si atoms. There are a spread of Si–Si bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.62 Å. In the fourth Si site, Si is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three Mg and four Si atoms. There are a spread of Si–Si bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.51 Å. In the fifth Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to five Mg and three Si atoms. In the sixth Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Mg and four Si atoms. The Si–Si bond length is 2.39 Å. In the seventh Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to five Mg and three Si atoms. In the eighth Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to five Mg and three Si atoms.« less
