Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ag1 | Ag | 4a | 4 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 |
| F2 | F | 8c | 8 | 0.1847 | 0.1941 | 0.3708 |
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 12 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
AB2_oP12_61_a_c-002: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP12, then the space-group number 61, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Ag: 4a; F: 8c). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
