  • We have shifted the origin of the system from that used by (Andersson, 1977), moving the Pd-I atom (her Pd(4)) to the (1a) Wyckoff position.
  • Hexagonal settings for rhombohedral structures can be obtained with the option --hex.

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a_{1}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{6}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{3}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{3}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&- \frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{6}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{3}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}} \end{array}\]
