Materials Data on DyMnSi by Materials Project
DyMnSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mn and five equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Mn bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.36 Å. There are two shorter (2.94 Å) and three longer (2.98 Å) Dy–Si bond lengths. Mn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy and four equivalent Si atoms. There are three shorter (2.47 Å) and one longer (2.72 Å) Mn–Si bond lengths. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Dy and four equivalent Mn atoms.
