Materials Data on EuCuSeO by Materials Project
EuCuOSe is Parent of FeAs superconductors structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one CuSe sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and one EuO sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the CuSe sheet, Cu1+ is bonded to four equivalent Se2- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CuSe4 tetrahedra. All Cu–Se bond lengths are 2.49 Å. Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cu1+ atoms. In the EuO sheet, Eu3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Eu–O bond lengths are 2.30 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Eu3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OEu4 tetrahedra.
