Materials Data on LiAlGe by Materials Project
LiAlGe is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to six equivalent Al and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing LiAl6Ge4 tetrahedra. All Li–Al bond lengths are 3.01 Å. All Li–Ge bond lengths are 2.61 Å. Al is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li and four equivalent Ge atoms. All Al–Ge bond lengths are 2.61 Å. Ge is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li and four equivalent Al atoms.
