Materials Data on EuVO3 by Materials Project
EuVO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Eu–O bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.70 Å. V4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 23–24°. There is four shorter (1.97 Å) and two longer (2.02 Å) V–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Eu2+ and two equivalent V4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Eu2+ and two equivalent V4+ atoms.
