Materials Data on YbNi4Sn by Materials Project

Abstract

YbNi4Sn crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni and four equivalent Sn atoms. All Yb–Ni bond lengths are 2.88 Å. All Yb–Sn bond lengths are 3.01 Å. Ni is bonded to three equivalent Yb, six equivalent Ni, and three equivalent Sn atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NiYb3Ni6Sn3 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.45 Å) and three longer (2.47 Å) Ni–Ni bond lengths. All Ni–Sn bond lengths are 2.88 Å. Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb and twelve equivalent Ni atoms.
