Materials Data on Ho3Bi by Materials Project

Abstract

Ho3Bi is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded to eight equivalent Ho and four equivalent Bi atoms to form distorted HoHo8Bi4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent HoHo8Bi4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent BiHo12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent HoHo8Bi4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent BiHo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent HoHo8Bi4 cuboctahedra. All Ho–Ho bond lengths are 3.43 Å. All Ho–Bi bond lengths are 3.43 Å. Bi is bonded to twelve equivalent Ho atoms to form BiHo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BiHo12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent HoHo8Bi4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent BiHo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent HoHo8Bi4 cuboctahedra.
