Materials Data on GaGe3 by Materials Project

Abstract

GaGe3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ga is bonded to twelve equivalent Ge atoms to form GaGe12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent GaGe12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent GeGa4Ge8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent GaGe12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent GeGa4Ge8 cuboctahedra. All Ga–Ge bond lengths are 3.03 Å. Ge is bonded to four equivalent Ga and eight equivalent Ge atoms to form distorted GeGa4Ge8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent GeGa4Ge8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent GaGe12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent GeGa4Ge8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent GaGe12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent GeGa4Ge8 cuboctahedra. All Ge–Ge bond lengths are 3.03 Å.
