Materials Data on HfNiGe by Materials Project

Abstract

HfNiGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hf is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and five equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Hf–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.08 Å. There are a spread of Hf–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.78 Å. Ni is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hf, two equivalent Ni, and four equivalent Ge atoms. Both Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.84 Å. There are a spread of Ni–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.48 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Hf and four equivalent Ni atoms.
