Materials Data on HoGeAu by Materials Project
HoAuGe is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded to four equivalent Au and six equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing HoGe6Au4 tetrahedra. All Ho–Au bond lengths are 2.82 Å. All Ho–Ge bond lengths are 3.26 Å. Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ho and four equivalent Ge atoms. All Au–Ge bond lengths are 2.82 Å. Ge is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho and four equivalent Au atoms.
