Materials Data on YNiSb by Materials Project
NiYSb is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni and six equivalent Sb atoms. All Y–Ni bond lengths are 2.76 Å. All Y–Sb bond lengths are 3.18 Å. Ni is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Y and four equivalent Sb atoms. All Ni–Sb bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Sb is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to six equivalent Y and four equivalent Ni atoms.
