Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cu2 | Cu | 4a | 4 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 |
| Fe4 | Fe | 4b | 4 | 0.5000 | 0.5000 | 0.5000 |
| Cu3 | Cu | 4c | 4 | 0.2500 | 0.2500 | 0.2500 |

The multiplicity and the Wyckoff letter say how many copies of the site the group makes in one cell and on which kind of symmetry element the site sits; the 60 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 48 operations. Press Wyckoff under Colour to see the sites, and tick a symmetry element on the left to see which atoms lie on it.
How to read the label
A12B2C_cF60_196_h_ac_b-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cF60, then the space-group number 196, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Cu: 4a; Fe: 4b; Cu: 4c; C: 48h). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
