The B32 (NaTl) Structure

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.

Note that both sublattices form independent diamond lattices.

• Prototype: NaTl
• Pearson Symbol: cF16
• Strukturbericht Designation: B32
• Space Group: Fd(-3)m (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 227
• Other Compounds with this Structure:
• Primitive Vectors:
  • A₁ = a Y + a Z
  • A₂ = a X + a Z
  • A₃ = a X + a Y
• Basis Vector:
  • B₁ = - 1/8 A₁ - 1/8 A₂ - 1/8 A₃ = - 1/4 aX - 1/4 aY - 1/4 aZ (Na)
  • B₂ = + 1/8 A₁ + 1/8 A₂ + 1/8 A₃ = + 1/4 aX + 1/4 aY + 1/4 aZ (Na)
  • B₃ = - 3/8 A₁ - 3/8 A₂ - 3/8 A₃ = - 3/4 aX - 3/4 aY - 3/4 aZ (Tl)
  • B₄ = + 3/8 A₁ + 3/8 A₂ + 3/8 A₃ = + 3/4 aX + 3/4 aY + 3/4 aZ (Tl)

See these vectors in a better notation.
