Materials Data on Er(FeGe)2 by Materials Project
ErFe2Ge2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Fe and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Er–Fe bond lengths are 3.23 Å. All Er–Ge bond lengths are 3.08 Å. Fe is bonded to four equivalent Er and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing FeEr4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Fe–Ge bond lengths are 2.35 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er, four equivalent Fe, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.57 Å.
