Materials Data on Dy3Ga5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Dy3Ga5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to nine Ga atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.28 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Ga atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.32 Å. There are four inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Dy and four Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ga–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.89 Å. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five Dy and five Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ga–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.66–3.06 Å. In the third Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Dy and four Ga atoms. In the fourth Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Dy and three Ga atoms.
