Materials Data on GdCdHg2 by Materials Project
GdHg2Cd is Heusler structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Hg atoms. There are six shorter (3.15 Å) and two longer (3.16 Å) Gd–Hg bond lengths. Hg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Gd and four equivalent Cd atoms. There are three shorter (3.15 Å) and one longer (3.16 Å) Hg–Cd bond lengths. Cd is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Hg atoms.
