Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S2 | S | 4c | 4 | 0.0000 | 0.9525 | 0.2500 |
| Rh1 | Rh | 8d | 8 | 0.1065 | 0.2517 | 0.0338 |
| S3 | S | 8d | 8 | 0.1518 | 0.3906 | 0.3930 |
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 20 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 8 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
A2B3_oP20_60_d_cd-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP20, then the space-group number 60, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (S: 4c; Rh: 8d; S: 8d). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
