Materials Data on HoCoSi by Materials Project
HoCoSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Si bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.13 Å. Co1+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CoSi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Co–Si bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.51 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho3+ and four equivalent Co1+ atoms.
