Materials Data on SmBiPd by Materials Project
SmPdBi is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded to four equivalent Pd and six equivalent Bi atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing SmBi6Pd4 tetrahedra. All Sm–Pd bond lengths are 2.95 Å. All Sm–Bi bond lengths are 3.41 Å. Pd is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Sm and four equivalent Bi atoms. All Pd–Bi bond lengths are 2.95 Å. Bi is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm and four equivalent Pd atoms.
