Materials Data on HoBiPt by Materials Project
HoPtBi is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded to four equivalent Pt and six equivalent Bi atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing HoBi6Pt4 tetrahedra. All Ho–Pt bond lengths are 2.91 Å. All Ho–Bi bond lengths are 3.36 Å. Pt is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ho and four equivalent Bi atoms. All Pt–Bi bond lengths are 2.91 Å. Bi is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho and four equivalent Pt atoms.
