The compound described by Dy2FeSi4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Fe(1), one Si(1), two equivalent Si(3), four equivalent Si(2), and four equivalent Si(4) atoms. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Fe(1), one Si(2), two equivalent Si(4), four equivalent Si(1), and four equivalent Si(3) atoms. Fe(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Dy(2), two equivalent Si(1), and two equivalent Si(2) atoms. There are four inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Dy(1), four equivalent Dy(2), two equivalent Fe(1), and one Si(3) atom. In the second Si site, Si(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Dy(2), four equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Fe(1), and one Si(4) atom. In the third Si site, Si(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), four equivalent Dy(2), one Si(1), and two equivalent Si(4) atoms. In the fourth Si site, Si(4) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(2), four equivalent Dy(1), one Si(2), and two equivalent Si(3) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
