Materials Data on Ba3Yb by Materials Project

Abstract

Ba3Yb is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to eight equivalent Ba and four equivalent Yb atoms to form BaBa8Yb4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BaBa8Yb4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent YbBa12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent BaBa8Yb4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent YbBa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent BaBa8Yb4 cuboctahedra. All Ba–Ba bond lengths are 4.38 Å. All Ba–Yb bond lengths are 4.38 Å. Yb is bonded to twelve equivalent Ba atoms to form YbBa12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent YbBa12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent BaBa8Yb4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent YbBa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent BaBa8Yb4 cuboctahedra.
