Materials Data on HoSnAu by Materials Project
HoAuSn is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded to four equivalent Au and six equivalent Sn atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing HoSn6Au4 tetrahedra. All Ho–Au bond lengths are 2.91 Å. All Ho–Sn bond lengths are 3.36 Å. Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ho and four equivalent Sn atoms. All Au–Sn bond lengths are 2.91 Å. Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho and four equivalent Au atoms.
