  • We corrected an error in the Mg III (8j) coordinates and shifted the Mg I atoms from the (2b) to the (2a) site.

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