AuCN Structure: ABC_hP3_183_a_a_a-001
| Prototype | AuCN |
| AFLOW prototype label | ABC_hP3_183_a_a_a-001 |
| ICSD | 165175 |
| Pearson symbol | hP3 |
| Space group number | 183 |
| Space group symbol | $P6mm$ |
| AFLOW prototype command |
aflow --proto=ABC_hP3_183_a_a_a-001
--params=$a, \allowbreak c/a, \allowbreak z_{1}, \allowbreak z_{2}, \allowbreak z_{3}$ |
- We use the data taken by (Hibble, 2004) at 300K.
- Space group $P6mm$ #183 allows an arbitrary choice for the origin of the $z$-axis. Here we set the origin so that $z_{2} = 0$ for the carbon (1a) site.
\[ \begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a_{1}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}
\end{array}\]
