Materials Data on Mg3Si4 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg3Si4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to ten Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.20 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.13 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.03 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.93 Å. In the fifth 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 2.73–2.98 Å. In the sixth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to seven Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.21 Å. There are eight inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bondedmore »
