Materials Data on TbSm by Materials Project

Abstract

TbSm crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb is bonded to six equivalent Tb and six equivalent Sm atoms to form TbTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent TbTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent TbTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent SmTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent TbTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent SmTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra. All Tb–Tb bond lengths are 3.64 Å. All Tb–Sm bond lengths are 3.61 Å. Sm is bonded to six equivalent Tb and six equivalent Sm atoms to form SmTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent SmTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent SmTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent TbTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent SmTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent TbTb6Sm6 cuboctahedra. All Sm–Sm bond lengths are 3.64 Å.
