Materials Data on YCdB by Materials Project
YCdB is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded to six equivalent Cd and four equivalent B atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing YCd6B4 tetrahedra. All Y–Cd bond lengths are 3.07 Å. All Y–B bond lengths are 2.66 Å. Cd is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and four equivalent B atoms. All Cd–B bond lengths are 2.66 Å. B is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Y and four equivalent Cd atoms.
