Materials Data on HoZnSi by Materials Project
HoZnSi is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing HoZn6Si6 cuboctahedra. All Ho–Zn bond lengths are 3.11 Å. All Ho–Si bond lengths are 3.11 Å. Zn is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ho and three equivalent Si atoms. All Zn–Si bond lengths are 2.37 Å. Si is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ho and three equivalent Zn atoms.
