Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S2 | S | 2a | 2 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 |
| H1 | H | 6b | 6 | 0.0000 | 0.5000 | 0.5000 |
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 8 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
A3B_cI8_229_b_a-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cI8, then the space-group number 229, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (S: 2a; H: 6b). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
