Materials Data on EuGaO3 by Materials Project
EuGaO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. All Eu–O bond lengths are 2.35 Å. Ga3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form corner-sharing GaO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are two shorter (1.88 Å) and three longer (2.12 Å) Ga–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Ga3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Eu3+ and one Ga3+ atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OEu3Ga tetrahedra.
