The material structure described by ErMn2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Er(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Si(1) atoms. Mn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MnSi4 tetrahedra. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er(1), four equivalent Mn(1), and one Si(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
