Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Te1 | Te | 2a | 2 | 0.2500 | 0.2300 | 0.4800 |
| Te2 | Te | 2a | 2 | 0.4800 | 0.0000 | 0.0200 |
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 4 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 2 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
A_mP4_4_2a-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol mP4, then the space-group number 4, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Te: 2a; Te: 2a). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
Note: 4-7 GPa.
