Materials Data on Zr3Ag by Materials Project

Abstract

Zr3Ag is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr is bonded to eight equivalent Zr and four equivalent Ag atoms to form distorted ZrZr8Ag4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ZrZr8Ag4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent AgZr12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent ZrZr8Ag4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent AgZr12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent ZrZr8Ag4 cuboctahedra. All Zr–Zr bond lengths are 3.12 Å. All Zr–Ag bond lengths are 3.12 Å. Ag is bonded to twelve equivalent Zr atoms to form AgZr12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AgZr12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent ZrZr8Ag4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent AgZr12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent ZrZr8Ag4 cuboctahedra.
