A Theoretical Study on the Unique Site Preference and Atomic Ordering of Hexagonal CoSn‐type Ternary Intermetallic Compound Co3Ge2Sn

Nilanjan Roy

Abstract: The inclusion of Ge in hexagonal B35 type CoSn leads to the formation of a new ternary substituted ordered variant Co3Ge2Sn. The experimentally reported crystallographic site‐occupancy pattern of this compound has been fundamentally addressed by the PBE‐GGA density functional theory‐based Mulliken population analysis. The site preference of Ge in the structure of Co3Ge2Sn is governed by the rule of ‘topological charge stabilization’. It turns out that the covalent inter‐layer heteroatomic Co−Ge bonds play a pr… Show more
