The material structure described by Er3Ga5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Er sites. In the first Er site, Er(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ga(2), two equivalent Ga(3), two equivalent Ga(4), and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. In the second Er site, Er(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ga(2), two equivalent Ga(3), two equivalent Ga(4), and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), four equivalent Er(2), one Ga(1), one Ga(2), one Ga(3), and one Ga(4) atom. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Er(1), four equivalent Er(2), one Ga(4), two equivalent Ga(1), and two equivalent Ga(3) atoms. In the third Ga site, Ga(3) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), four equivalent Er(2), two equivalent Ga(1), and two equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the fourth Ga site, Ga(4) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), four equivalent Er(2), one Ga(2), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
