Materials Data on YHo by Materials Project

Abstract

HoY is Magnesium-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded to six equivalent Ho and six equivalent Y atoms to form HoY6Ho6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent HoY6Ho6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent HoY6Ho6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent YY6Ho6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent HoY6Ho6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent YY6Ho6 cuboctahedra. All Ho–Ho bond lengths are 3.61 Å. All Ho–Y bond lengths are 3.54 Å. Y is bonded to six equivalent Ho and six equivalent Y atoms to form YY6Ho6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent YY6Ho6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent YY6Ho6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent HoY6Ho6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent YY6Ho6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent HoY6Ho6 cuboctahedra. All Y–Y bond lengths are 3.61 Å.
