Single crystals of garnet-type trimanganese(II) dichrom-i-um(III) tris-[orthogermanate(IV)], Mn(II) (3)Cr(III) (2)(GeO(4))(3), were obtained by utilizing a chemical transport reaction. Corres-ponding to the mineral garnet with the general formula A(II) (3)B(III) (2)(SiO(4))(3), each of the four elements occupies only one crystallographically distinct position. Mn(2+) occupies the respective A position (Wyckoff site 24c, site symmetry 2.22), being surrounded by eight O atoms that form a distorted cube [d(Mn-O) = 2.291 (2) and 2.422 (2) Å, 4× each], while Cr(3+) on the B position (Wyckoff site 16a, site symmetry .-3.) is situated in a slightly distorted octa-hedron of six O(2-) anions [d(Cr-O) = 1.972 (2) Å, 6×]. In addition, the O atoms on general site 96h form isolated [GeO(4)](4-) tetra-hedra with Ge(4+) on site 24d [site symmetry -4..; d(Ge-O) = 1.744 (2) Å, 4×].

Mixed-anion chalcogenides make up a versatile class of materials with properties that can be fine-tuned for specific applications. While chalcogen anions (Q = S, Se, or Te) tend to form solid solutions in simple binary systems, ordering does occur in structures that have more than one unique anion site. Here, we use crystallographic analysis and hard-soft acid-base principles to predict the Wyckoff positions that secondary chalcogens will occupy in a range of single-anion hosts.

Triply degenerate nodal point (TP) fermions, lacking elementary particle counterparts, have been theoretically anticipated as quasiparticle excitations near specific band crossing points constrained by distinct space-group symmetries instead of Lorentz invariance. Here, based oncalculations and symmetry analysis, we demonstrate the presence of TP fermions in Heusler alloys. Furthermore, we predict that these Heusler alloys are dynamically stable, exhibiting TP fermions along four distinctaxes in the F-43m space group.

GdAlRh was synthesized from the elements using arc-melting techniques, along with subsequent annealing. The title compound adopts the hexagonal MgZn type structure (space group 6/, 12, Wyckoff sequence ) with the Gd atoms found on the Mg positions (4), the Rh (2) and Al (6) atoms occupying the two Zn sites of the prototype. In addition, mixing of Rh and Al on both crystallographic positions is observed.
