  • OsGe$_{2}$ shares the same AFLOW label, A2B_mC12_12_2i_i, with CaC$_{2}$-III and $\alpha$–Bi$_{2}$Pd. The structures are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (--params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.

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