There are four shorter (3.68 Å) and eight longer (3.69 Å) Er–La bond lengths. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La is bonded to four equivalent Er and eight La atoms to form LaLa8Er4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LaLa8Er4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent ErLa12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen LaLa8Er4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ErLa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen LaLa8Er4 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (3.68 Å) and four longer (3.69 Å) La–La bond lengths. In the second La site, La is bonded to four equivalent Er and eight equivalent La atoms to form LaLa8Er4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent LaLa8Er4 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent ErLa12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four LaLa8Er4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent ErLa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve LaLa8Er4 cuboctahedra.

Materials Data on Tb3Er by Materials Project

ErTb3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded to twelve Tb atoms to form ErTb12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent ErTb12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent ErTb12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ErTb12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra. All Er–Tb bond lengths are 3.55 Å. There are two inequivalent Tb sites. In the first Tb site, Tb is bonded to four equivalent Er and eight Tb atoms to form TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent ErTb12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ErTb12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra. All Tb–Tb bond lengths are 3.55 Å. In the second Tb site, Tb is bonded to four equivalent Er and eight equivalent Tb atoms to form TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent ErTb12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent ErTb12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve TbTb8Er4 cuboctahedra.
