Materials Data on LuAlSi by Materials Project
LuAlSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Al and five equivalent Si atoms. All Lu–Al bond lengths are 3.13 Å. There are a spread of Lu–Si bond distances ranging from 2.86–2.99 Å. Al is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu and four equivalent Si atoms. All Al–Si bond lengths are 2.64 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Lu and four equivalent Al atoms.
