Materials Data on HoGa3 by Materials Project

Abstract

HoGa3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded to twelve equivalent Ga atoms to form HoGa12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent HoGa12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent GaHo4Ga8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent HoGa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent GaHo4Ga8 cuboctahedra. All Ho–Ga bond lengths are 3.01 Å. Ga is bonded to four equivalent Ho and eight equivalent Ga atoms to form distorted GaHo4Ga8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent GaHo4Ga8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent HoGa12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent GaHo4Ga8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent HoGa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent GaHo4Ga8 cuboctahedra. All Ga–Ga bond lengths are 3.01 Å.
