Materials Data on BeInSi2 by Materials Project
BeInSi2 is Heusler-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Be is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent In and four equivalent Si atoms. All Be–In bond lengths are 2.78 Å. All Be–Si bond lengths are 2.78 Å. In is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Be and four equivalent Si atoms. All In–Si bond lengths are 2.78 Å. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent In and four equivalent Si atoms. All Si–Si bond lengths are 2.78 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Be and four equivalent Si atoms.
