  • This is the room temperature structure of BiPd.
  • Okamoto's phase diagram (Villars, 2018) shows a transition to a high-temperature phase at 800°C, but says that no data is available for that structure.
  • (Schubert, 1968) puts one bismuth atom on the (2c) (0 0 1/2) Wyckoff position. We shift this so that atom is at the origin, Wyckoff position (2a).

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