Materials Data on HoSbPt by Materials Project
HoPtSb is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho3+ is bonded to four equivalent Pt2- and six equivalent Sb1- atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing HoSb6Pt4 tetrahedra. All Ho–Pt bond lengths are 2.86 Å. All Ho–Sb bond lengths are 3.30 Å. Pt2- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ho3+ and four equivalent Sb1- atoms. All Pt–Sb bond lengths are 2.86 Å. Sb1- is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho3+ and four equivalent Pt2- atoms.
