Materials Data on Dy5Bi3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Dy5Bi3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Bi atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.54 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Bi atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.14–3.53 Å. In the third Dy site, Dy is bonded to five Bi atoms to form distorted edge-sharing DyBi5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Dy–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.18–3.27 Å. In the fourth Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Bi atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.38 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Dy atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Dy atoms.
