Materials Data on Ni3Pt by Materials Project

Abstract

Ni3Pt is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pt is bonded to twelve equivalent Ni atoms to form PtNi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PtNi12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent NiNi8Pt4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent PtNi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent NiNi8Pt4 cuboctahedra. All Pt–Ni bond lengths are 2.58 Å. Ni is bonded to four equivalent Pt and eight equivalent Ni atoms to form NiNi8Pt4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent NiNi8Pt4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent PtNi12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent NiNi8Pt4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent PtNi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent NiNi8Pt4 cuboctahedra. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.58 Å.
