Materials Data on FeGe by Materials Project

Abstract

FeGe crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Fe and six Ge atoms. There are two shorter (2.45 Å) and two longer (2.64 Å) Fe–Fe bond lengths. There are four shorter (2.47 Å) and two longer (2.49 Å) Fe–Ge bond lengths. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Fe and six Ge atoms. Both Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.68 Å. There are two shorter (2.41 Å) and four longer (2.43 Å) Fe–Ge bond lengths. In the third Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to four Fe and seven Ge atoms. Both Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.48 Å. There are a spread of Fe–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.79 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Fe and two equivalent Ge atoms. Both Ge–Ge bond lengths are 2.73 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Fe atoms.
