Materials Data on CdAu by Materials Project

Abstract

AuCd is alpha iridium vanadium-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P31m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Cd atoms. There are a spread of Au–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.04 Å. In the second Au site, Au is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Cd atoms. There are a spread of Au–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.03 Å. In the third Au site, Au is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Cd atoms. There are a spread of Au–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.08 Å. In the fourth Au site, Au is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Cd atoms. There are a spread of Au–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.10 Å. There are four inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Au atoms. In the second Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Au atoms. In the third Cd site, Cd is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Au atoms. In the fourth Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Au atoms.
