  • Os2Al3

  • (Schubert, 1960) listed the lattice constants in kX units. We used the conversion factor 1/1.00207789 to convert their units into Ångstroms (Arblaster, 1997).
  • When $c/a = 5$, $z_{2} = 1/5$ and $z_{3} = 2/5$, the atoms are on the sites of a body–centered cubic lattice.

Body-centered Tetragonal primitive vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a}_1 & = & - \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \mathbf{a}_2 & = & ~ \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} - \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \mathbf{a}_3 & = & ~ \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} - \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \end{array} \]

Basis vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccccccc} & & \text{Lattice Coordinates} & & \text{Cartesian Coordinates} &\text{Wyckoff Position} & \text{Atom Type} \\ \mathbf{B}_{1} & = & 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & 0 \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + 0 \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + 0 \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(2a\right) & \text{Nb I} \\ \mathbf{B}_{2} & = & z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} & = & z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(4e\right) & \text{Au} \\ \mathbf{B}_{3} & = & -z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}-z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} & = & -z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(4e\right) & \text{Au} \\ \mathbf{B}_{4} & = & z_{3} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + z_{3} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} & = & z_{3}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(4e\right) & \text{Nb II} \\ \mathbf{B}_{5} & = & -z_{3} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}-z_{3} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} & = & -z_{3}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(4e\right) & \text{Nb II} \\ \end{array} \]
