Materials Data on GdTh3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Th3Gd is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded to eight equivalent Th and four equivalent Gd atoms to form ThGd4Th8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ThGd4Th8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent GdTh12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent ThGd4Th8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent GdTh12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent ThGd4Th8 cuboctahedra. All Th–Th bond lengths are 3.67 Å. All Th–Gd bond lengths are 3.67 Å. Gd is bonded to twelve equivalent Th atoms to form GdTh12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent GdTh12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent ThGd4Th8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent GdTh12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent ThGd4Th8 cuboctahedra.
