Materials Data on NpSiO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

NpSiO3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Np is bonded to twelve equivalent O atoms to form NpO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent NpO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent NpO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent SiO6 octahedra. All Np–O bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Si is bonded to six equivalent O atoms to form SiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SiO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent NpO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Si–O bond lengths are 1.89 Å. O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Np and two equivalent Si atoms.
