Materials Data on YAlGe by Materials Project
YAlGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Al and five equivalent Ge atoms. All Y–Al bond lengths are 3.19 Å. There are a spread of Y–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.09 Å. Al is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y and four equivalent Ge atoms. All Al–Ge bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y and four equivalent Al atoms.
