Materials Data on TmTe by Materials Project
TmTe is Molybdenum Carbide MAX Phase-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tm is bonded to six equivalent Te atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TmTe6 pentagonal pyramids. All Tm–Te bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Te is bonded to six equivalent Tm atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing TeTm6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°.
