Materials Data on TbZnSn by Materials Project

TbZnSn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tb sites. In the first Tb site, Tb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Sn atoms. All Tb–Zn bond lengths are 2.98 Å. All Tb–Sn bond lengths are 3.40 Å. In the second Tb site, Tb is bonded to six equivalent Sn atoms to form edge-sharing TbSn6 octahedra. All Tb–Sn bond lengths are 3.18 Å. Zn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Tb and three equivalent Sn atoms. All Zn–Sn bond lengths are 2.71 Å. Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Tb and three equivalent Zn atoms.
