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 40 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

A31B9_tP40_83_ae3j4k_cjk-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tP40, then the space-group number 83, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Au: 1a; Mn: 1c; Au: 2e; Au: 4j; Au: 4j; Au: 4j; Mn: 4j; Au: 4k; Au: 4k; Au: 4k; Au: 4k; Mn: 4k). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
