Materials Data on PaGa3 by Materials Project

Abstract

PaGa3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pa is bonded to twelve equivalent Ga atoms to form PaGa12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PaGa12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent GaPa4Ga8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent PaGa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent GaPa4Ga8 cuboctahedra. All Pa–Ga bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Ga is bonded to four equivalent Pa and eight equivalent Ga atoms to form distorted GaPa4Ga8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent GaPa4Ga8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent PaGa12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent GaPa4Ga8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent PaGa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent GaPa4Ga8 cuboctahedra. All Ga–Ga bond lengths are 3.05 Å.
