--params=$a, \allowbreak b/a, \allowbreak c/a, \allowbreak x_{2}, \allowbreak y_{2}, \allowbreak z_{2}$ |
- This is a distortion of the fluorite ($C1$) structure. We can recover that structure when $a = b = c$ and $x_{2} = y_{2} = z_{2} = 1/2$.
- $\beta$–HgO$_{2}$, AgF$_{2}$, and PdSe$_{2}$ have the same AFLOW prototype label, AB2_oP12_61_a_c. The structures are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (
--params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.
