Materials Data on Li2MgGe by Materials Project

Abstract

Li2MgGe crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg atoms. All Li–Mg bond lengths are 2.79 Å. In the second Li site, Li is bonded to four equivalent Ge atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LiGe4 tetrahedra. All Li–Ge bond lengths are 2.79 Å. Mg is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li and four equivalent Ge atoms. All Mg–Ge bond lengths are 2.79 Å. Ge is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li and four equivalent Mg atoms.
