Materials Data on Dy5(In2Ni)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Dy5Ni2In4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni and six In atoms. Both Dy–Ni bond lengths are 2.76 Å. There are a spread of Dy–In bond distances ranging from 3.16–3.41 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni and six In atoms. There are two shorter (2.91 Å) and two longer (2.92 Å) Dy–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Dy–In bond distances ranging from 3.24–3.35 Å. In the third Dy site, Dy is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight In atoms. There are four shorter (3.20 Å) and four longer (3.33 Å) Dy–In bond lengths. Ni is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Dy and three In atoms. There are a spread of Ni–In bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.28 Å. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Dy, one Ni, and one In atom. The In–In bond length is 3.27 Å. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight Dy, two equivalent Ni, and one In atom.
