Materials Data on DyHo3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ho3Dy is Copper-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded to eight Ho and four equivalent Dy atoms to form HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent DyHo12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent DyHo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra. All Ho–Ho bond lengths are 3.53 Å. All Ho–Dy bond lengths are 3.53 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded to eight equivalent Ho and four equivalent Dy atoms to form HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent DyHo12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent DyHo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra. All Ho–Dy bond lengths are 3.53 Å. Dy is bonded to twelve Ho atoms to form DyHo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent DyHo12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent DyHo12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent DyHo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen HoDy4Ho8 cuboctahedra.
