Materials Data on Ce3Y(InAu2)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ce3Y(Au2In)4 is Heusler-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Au atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Au bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.11 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Au atoms. There are two shorter (3.07 Å) and six longer (3.08 Å) Ce–Au bond lengths. Y is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Au atoms. There are two shorter (3.03 Å) and six longer (3.06 Å) Y–Au bond lengths. There are eight inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four Ce and four equivalent In atoms. There are one shorter (3.06 Å) and three longer (3.08 Å) Au–Ce bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.95 Å) and three longer (3.13 Å) Au–In bond lengths. In the second Au site, Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to one Ce, three equivalent Y, and four equivalent In atoms. The Au–Ce bond length is 3.11 Å. All Au–Y bond lengths are 3.06 Å. There are one shorter (2.86 Å) and three longer (3.15 Å) Au–In bond lengths. In the third Au site, Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four Ce and four equivalent In atoms. There are one shorter (3.06 Å) and three longer (3.08 Å) Au–Ce bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.95 Å) and three longer (3.13 Å) Au–In bond lengths. In the fourth Au site, Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four Ce and four equivalent In atoms. There are one shorter (2.95 Å) and three longer (3.13 Å) Au–In bond lengths. In the fifth Au site, Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four Ce and four In atoms. All Au–Ce bond lengths are 3.08 Å. There are one shorter (2.90 Å) and three longer (3.12 Å) Au–In bond lengths. In the sixth Au site, Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to one Ce, three equivalent Y, and four equivalent In atoms. There are one shorter (2.86 Å) and three longer (3.15 Å) Au–In bond lengths. In the seventh Au site, Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to three equivalent Ce, one Y, and four In atoms. There are one shorter (2.92 Å) and three longer (3.11 Å) Au–In bond lengths. In the eighth Au site, Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four Ce and four In atoms. There are one shorter (2.90 Å) and three longer (3.12 Å) Au–In bond lengths. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Au atoms. In the second In site, In is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Au atoms.
