Materials Data on Mn2ZnTe4 by Materials Project
Mn2ZnTe4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn3+ is bonded to six equivalent Te2- atoms to form MnTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent ZnTe4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent MnTe6 octahedra. All Mn–Te bond lengths are 2.79 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent Te2- atoms to form ZnTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent MnTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. All Zn–Te bond lengths are 2.68 Å. Te2- is bonded to three equivalent Mn3+ and one Zn2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TeMn3Zn trigonal pyramids.
