Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Np1 | Np | 4c | 4 | 0.4640 | 0.2500 | 0.2920 |
| Np2 | Np | 4c | 4 | 0.1810 | 0.2500 | 0.6580 |
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 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
A_oP8_62_2c-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP8, then the space-group number 62, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Np: 4c; Np: 4c). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
Note: A_{c}, α-Np.
