Materials Data on ErNiGe by Materials Project
ErNiGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and six equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Er–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.14 Å. There are a spread of Er–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.06 Å. Ni is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and four equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.67 Å. Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and four equivalent Ni atoms.
