Materials Data on HoNiGe by Materials Project

Abstract

HoNiGe crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and six equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.21 Å. There are a spread of Ho–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.16 Å. Ni is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho, one Ni, and three equivalent Ge atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.68 Å. There are two shorter (2.40 Å) and one longer (2.64 Å) Ni–Ge bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho, three equivalent Ni, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.72 Å.
