Materials Data on Y3Ga by Materials Project

Abstract

Y3Ga is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded to eight equivalent Y and four equivalent Ga atoms to form distorted YY8Ga4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent YY8Ga4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent GaY12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent YY8Ga4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent GaY12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent YY8Ga4 cuboctahedra. All Y–Y bond lengths are 3.36 Å. All Y–Ga bond lengths are 3.36 Å. Ga is bonded to twelve equivalent Y atoms to form GaY12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent GaY12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent YY8Ga4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent GaY12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent YY8Ga4 cuboctahedra.
