Materials Data on SmNiBi by Materials Project
SmNiBi is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni and six equivalent Bi atoms. All Sm–Ni bond lengths are 2.84 Å. All Sm–Bi bond lengths are 3.28 Å. Ni is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Sm and four equivalent Bi atoms. All Ni–Bi bond lengths are 2.84 Å. Bi is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to six equivalent Sm and four equivalent Ni atoms.
