Materials Data on ErAlO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

ErAlO3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er3+ is bonded to twelve equivalent O2- atoms to form ErO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ErO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent ErO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent AlO6 octahedra. All Er–O bond lengths are 2.61 Å. Al3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent AlO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent ErO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Al–O bond lengths are 1.85 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Er3+ and two equivalent Al3+ atoms.
