Materials Data on LiCdAs by Materials Project
LiCdAs is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Cd2+ and four equivalent As3- atoms. All Li–Cd bond lengths are 2.65 Å. All Li–As bond lengths are 2.65 Å. Cd2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li1+ and six equivalent As3- atoms. All Cd–As bond lengths are 3.07 Å. As3- is bonded to four equivalent Li1+ and six equivalent Cd2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing AsLi4Cd6 tetrahedra.
