Materials Data on ErAlZn by Materials Project
ErZnAl is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Al atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing ErAl6Zn6 cuboctahedra. All Er–Zn bond lengths are 3.12 Å. All Er–Al bond lengths are 3.12 Å. Zn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and three equivalent Al atoms. All Zn–Al bond lengths are 2.60 Å. Al is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and three equivalent Zn atoms.
