Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | D | 2e | 2 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.2500 |
| D2 | D | 4j | 4 | 0.2500 | 0.5000 | 0.2500 |
| V3 | V | 4q | 4 | 0.6250 | 0.2500 | 0.0000 |
| V4 | V | 4q | 4 | 0.1250 | 0.2500 | 0.0000 |
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 14 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
A3B4_oP14_49_ej_2q-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP14, then the space-group number 49, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (D: 2e; D: 4j; V: 4q; V: 4q). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
Note: \delta-V₄D₃.
