caption_attribution_description: Crystal structure of left-handed and right-handed MeSi or MeGe crystals (Me=Fe, Co, Mn) with different numbers of atoms per unit cell shown in the top, middle and bottom panels. Orange atoms are Si or Ge
context_page_description: Iron germanide is an intermetallic compound, a germanide of iron. At ambient conditions it crystallizes in three polymorphs with monoclinic, hexagonal and cubic structures. The cubic polymorph has no inversion center, it is therefore helical, with right-hand and left-handed chiralities.
