Materials Data on HoMnSi by Materials Project
HoMnSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mn and five equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Mn bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.32 Å. There are two shorter (2.91 Å) and three longer (2.96 Å) Ho–Si bond lengths. Mn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho and four equivalent Si atoms. There are three shorter (2.47 Å) and one longer (2.71 Å) Mn–Si bond lengths. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ho and four equivalent Mn atoms.
