Last modified 5 April 2001

You can now

• see the structure from several perspectives;
• examine the structure with an external viewer; or
• download the coordinates of the atoms in these pictures in XYZ format.

• Prototype: Cu
• Pearson Symbol: cF4
• Strukturbericht Designation: A1
• Space Group: Fm(-3)m (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 225
• Other Elements with this Structure: Al, Cu, Ni, Sr, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ce, Tb, Ir, Pt, Au, Pb, Th
• Primitive Vectors:
  • A₁ = ½ a Y + ½ a Z
  • A₂ = ½ a X + ½ a Z
  • A₃ = ½ a X + ½ a Y

• Basis Vector:
  • B₁ = 0

See these vectors in a better notation.
