Materials Data on GdNiAs by Materials Project
GdNiAs is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded to six equivalent Ni and six equivalent As atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing GdNi6As6 cuboctahedra. All Gd–Ni bond lengths are 3.06 Å. All Gd–As bond lengths are 3.06 Å. Ni is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd and three equivalent As atoms. All Ni–As bond lengths are 2.36 Å. As is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd and three equivalent Ni atoms.
