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 192 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 96 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

A2B_cF192_216_2e2h_ab2eg-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cF192, then the space-group number 216, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Tm: 4a; Tm: 4b; Ni: 16e; Ni: 16e; Tm: 16e; Tm: 16e; Tm: 24g; Ni: 48h; Ni: 48h). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: LT.
