Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | C | 2a | 2 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 |
| Al2 | Al | 2c | 2 | 0.3333 | 0.6667 | 0.2500 |
| Cr3 | Cr | 4f | 4 | 0.3333 | 0.6667 | 0.5860 |
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 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
ABC2_hP8_194_c_a_f-007: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol hP8, then the space-group number 194, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (C: 2a; Al: 2c; Cr: 4f). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
