The C34 (AuTe₂, Calaverite) 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.

• Prototype: AuTe₂
• Pearson Symbol: mC6
• Strukturbericht Designation: C34
• Space Group: C2/m (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 12
• Other compounds with this structure: Au₁₀Se₃Te₁₇
  
  
• Primitive Vectors:
  • A₁ = ½ a X - ½ b Y
  • A₂ = ½ a X + ½ b Y
  • A₃ = c cos(ß) X + c sin(ß) Z
• Basis Vectors:
  • B₁ = 0   (Au)   (2a)
  • B₂ = + x ( A₁ + A₂ ) + z A₃ = + [ x a + z c cos(ß)] X + z c cos(ß) Z   (Te)   (4i)
  • B₃ = - x ( A₁ + A₂ ) - z A₃ = - [ x a + z c cos(ß)] X - z c cos(ß) Z   (Te)   (4i)

See these vectors in a better notation.
