Materials Data on Hf3Co by Materials Project

Abstract

Hf3Co is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hf is bonded to eight equivalent Hf and four equivalent Co atoms to form distorted HfHf8Co4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent HfHf8Co4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent CoHf12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent HfHf8Co4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent CoHf12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent HfHf8Co4 cuboctahedra. All Hf–Hf bond lengths are 3.00 Å. All Hf–Co bond lengths are 3.00 Å. Co is bonded to twelve equivalent Hf atoms to form CoHf12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CoHf12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent HfHf8Co4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CoHf12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent HfHf8Co4 cuboctahedra.
