Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rh1 | Rh | 2e | 2 | 0.2500 | 0.0000 | 0.4500 |
| Ta3 | Ta | 2f | 2 | 0.2500 | 0.5000 | 0.9500 |
| Rh2 | Rh | 4i | 4 | 0.4170 | 0.0000 | 0.8170 |
| Ta4 | Ta | 4j | 4 | 0.4170 | 0.5000 | 0.3170 |
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
AB_oP12_51_ei_fj-001: 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 51, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Rh: 2e; Ta: 2f; Rh: 4i; Ta: 4j). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
