Materials Data on HfSiNi by Materials Project
NiHfSi is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hf is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and four equivalent Si atoms. All Hf–Ni bond lengths are 2.94 Å. All Hf–Si bond lengths are 2.54 Å. Ni is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to six equivalent Hf and four equivalent Si atoms. All Ni–Si bond lengths are 2.54 Å. Si is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Hf and four equivalent Ni atoms.
