Materials Data on MnGa by Materials Project

Abstract

MnGa crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn is bonded to six equivalent Mn and six equivalent Ga atoms to form distorted MnMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent MnMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent MnMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent GaMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent MnMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent GaMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra. All Mn–Mn bond lengths are 2.75 Å. All Mn–Ga bond lengths are 2.60 Å. Ga is bonded to six equivalent Mn and six equivalent Ga atoms to form distorted GaMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent GaMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent GaMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent MnMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent GaMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent MnMn6Ga6 cuboctahedra. All Ga–Ga bond lengths are 2.75 Å.
