Materials Data on SmN by Materials Project
SmN is Halite, Rock Salt structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm3+ is bonded to six equivalent N3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SmN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Sm–N bond lengths are 2.54 Å. N3- is bonded to six equivalent Sm3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NSm6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
