Materials Data on DyMg2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Mg2Dy crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five Mg and six equivalent Dy atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.31 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Dy bond distances ranging from 3.43–3.46 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five Mg and six equivalent Dy atoms. The Mg–Mg bond length is 3.00 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Dy bond distances ranging from 3.43–3.45 Å. Dy is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Mg and two equivalent Dy atoms. Both Dy–Dy bond lengths are 3.31 Å.
