Materials Data on Dy3Al by Materials Project

Abstract

Dy3Al is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy is bonded to eight equivalent Dy and four equivalent Al atoms to form DyDy8Al4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent DyDy8Al4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent AlDy12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent DyDy8Al4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent AlDy12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent DyDy8Al4 cuboctahedra. All Dy–Dy bond lengths are 3.36 Å. All Dy–Al bond lengths are 3.36 Å. Al is bonded to twelve equivalent Dy atoms to form AlDy12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AlDy12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent DyDy8Al4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent AlDy12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent DyDy8Al4 cuboctahedra.
