Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rh2 | Rh | 24c | 24 | 0.1250 | 0.0000 | 0.2500 |
| Bi1 | Bi | 96h | 96 | 0.0240 | 0.4300 | 0.1530 |
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 120 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
A4B_cI120_230_h_c-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cI120, then the space-group number 230, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Rh: 24c; Bi: 96h). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
