Materials Data on NdGd3 by Materials Project
Gd3Nd is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded to eight equivalent Gd and four equivalent Nd atoms to form GdNd4Gd8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent GdNd4Gd8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent NdGd12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent GdNd4Gd8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent NdGd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent GdNd4Gd8 cuboctahedra. All Gd–Gd bond lengths are 3.62 Å. All Gd–Nd bond lengths are 3.62 Å. Nd is bonded to twelve equivalent Gd atoms to form NdGd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent NdGd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent GdNd4Gd8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent NdGd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent GdNd4Gd8 cuboctahedra.
