Materials Data on ErGaPt by Materials Project
ErPtGa crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pt and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Er–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.08 Å. There are a spread of Er–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.08–3.21 Å. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Er and four equivalent Ga atoms. There are three shorter (2.60 Å) and one longer (2.72 Å) Pt–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and four equivalent Pt atoms.
