Materials Data on CeY4Mg5 by Materials Project
Mg5CeY4 is Heusler-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ce and four equivalent Y atoms. All Mg–Ce bond lengths are 3.31 Å. All Mg–Y bond lengths are 3.29 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Y atoms. All Mg–Y bond lengths are 3.31 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Y atoms. All Mg–Y bond lengths are 3.30 Å. Ce is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Mg atoms. There are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Mg atoms. In the second Y site, Y is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Mg atoms.
