  • The sample studied had composition (Au0.88,Ag0.12)Te2. For simplicity we make all of the Au/Ag sites Au. (Pearson, 1972) states that this is a distortion of the trigonal $\omega$ phase. Note that AuTe2 also exists in the C34 structure.

Simple Orthorhombic primitive vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a}_1 & = & a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} \\ \mathbf{a}_2 & = & b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\ \mathbf{a}_3 & = & c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \end{array} \]
