Materials Data on ErSiPd by Materials Project

Abstract

ErPdSi crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd and six equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Er–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.14 Å. There are a spread of Er–Si bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.30 Å. Pd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er, one Pd, and three equivalent Si atoms. The Pd–Pd bond length is 2.92 Å. There are two shorter (2.47 Å) and one longer (2.71 Å) Pd–Si bond lengths. Si is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er, three equivalent Pd, and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.44 Å.
