Materials Data on DyCoSi by Materials Project
DyCoSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Si bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.13 Å. Co1+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CoSi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Co–Si bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.52 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy3+ and four equivalent Co1+ atoms.
