Materials Data on ErZnIn by Materials Project
ErZnIn is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent In atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing ErZn6In6 cuboctahedra. All Er–Zn bond lengths are 3.23 Å. All Er–In bond lengths are 3.23 Å. Zn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and three equivalent In atoms. All Zn–In bond lengths are 2.69 Å. In is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and three equivalent Zn atoms.
