Materials Data on VCoSn by Materials Project
CoVSn is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Co and four equivalent Sn atoms. All V–Co bond lengths are 2.57 Å. All V–Sn bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Co is bonded to four equivalent V atoms to form distorted CoV4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent SnV4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent CoV4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent SnV4 tetrahedra. Sn is bonded to four equivalent V atoms to form distorted SnV4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CoV4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent SnV4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent CoV4 tetrahedra.
