CuAl2 revisited: Composition, crystal structure, chemical bonding, compressibility and Raman spectroscopy
چکیده انگلیسی

The structure of CuAl2 is usually described as a framework of base condensed tetragonal antiprisms [CuAl8/4]. The appropriate symmetry governed periodic nodal surface (PNS) divides the space of the structure into two labyrinths. All atoms are located in one labyrinth, whereas the second labyrinth seems to be ‘empty’. The bonding of the CuAl2 structure was analyzed by the electron localization function (ELF), crystal orbital Hamiltonian population (COHP) analysis and Raman spectroscopy. From the ELF representation it is seen, that the ‘empty’ labyrinth is in fact the place of important covalent interactions. ELF, COHP in combination with high-pressure X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy show that the CuAl2 structure is described best as a network built of interpenetrating graphite-like nets of three-bonded aluminum atoms with the copper atoms inside the tetragonal-antiprismatic cavities.

Atomic interactions in the crystal structure of the intermetallic compound CuAl2: Three-bonded aluminum atoms form interpenetrating graphite-like nets. The copper atoms are located in the channels of aluminum network by means of three-center bonds. The bonding model is in agreement with the result of polarized Raman spectroscopy and high-pressure X-ray powder diffraction.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
