AFLOW prototype command aflow --proto=AB_mP16_14_2e_2e-001
--params=$a, \allowbreak b/a, \allowbreak c/a, \allowbreak \beta, \allowbreak x_{1}, \allowbreak y_{1}, \allowbreak z_{1}, \allowbreak x_{2}, \allowbreak y_{2}, \allowbreak z_{2}, \allowbreak x_{3}, \allowbreak y_{3}, \allowbreak z_{3}, \allowbreak x_{4}, \allowbreak y_{4}, \allowbreak z_{4}$

  • LiAs and $\alpha$–ICl have the same AFLOW prototype label, AB_mP16_14_2e_2e. They are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (--params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.
