Materials Data on DyZnSn by Materials Project
DyZnSn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Sn atoms. All Dy–Zn bond lengths are 2.97 Å. All Dy–Sn bond lengths are 3.38 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded to six equivalent Sn atoms to form edge-sharing DySn6 octahedra. All Dy–Sn bond lengths are 3.16 Å. Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy and three equivalent Sn atoms. All Zn–Sn bond lengths are 2.72 Å. Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Dy and three equivalent Zn atoms.
