Materials Data on GdZnGa by Materials Project
GdZnGa is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Ga atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing GdZn6Ga6 cuboctahedra. All Gd–Zn bond lengths are 3.15 Å. All Gd–Ga bond lengths are 3.15 Å. Zn is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd and three equivalent Ga atoms. All Zn–Ga bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd and three equivalent Zn atoms.
