Materials Data on ZrNiGe by Materials Project

Abstract

ZrNiGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and five equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.12 Å. There are two shorter (2.77 Å) and three longer (2.80 Å) Zr–Ge bond lengths. Ni is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zr, two equivalent Ni, and four equivalent Ge atoms. Both Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.83 Å. There are a spread of Ni–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.55 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Zr and four equivalent Ni atoms.
