  • Th$_{2}$H and HoSb$_{2}$ share the same AFLOW prototype label, AB2_oC6_21_a_k. The structures are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (--params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.

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