Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eu1 | Eu | 2a | 2 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 |
| In2 | In | 4f | 4 | 0.3333 | 0.6667 | 0.3285 |

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 10 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 24 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
AB2C2_hP10_194_a_f_f-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol hP10, then the space-group number 194, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Eu: 2a; In: 4f; P: 4f). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
