Materials Data on Ba3La by Materials Project
Ba3La is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to eight equivalent Ba and four equivalent La atoms to form BaBa8La4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BaBa8La4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent LaBa12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent BaBa8La4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent LaBa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent BaBa8La4 cuboctahedra. All Ba–Ba bond lengths are 4.26 Å. All Ba–La bond lengths are 4.26 Å. La is bonded to twelve equivalent Ba atoms to form LaBa12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LaBa12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent BaBa8La4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent LaBa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent BaBa8La4 cuboctahedra.
