Lattice coordinates Cartesian coordinates Wyckoff position Atom type
$\mathbf{B_{1}}$ = $0$ = $0$ (2a) Ga I
$\mathbf{B_{2}}$ = $\frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}+\frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}+\frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3}$ = $\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}$ (2c) Ga II
$\mathbf{B_{3}}$ = $x_{3} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}+x_{3} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}$ = $a x_{3} \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}$ (4g) Ga III
$\mathbf{B_{4}}$ = $- x_{3} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}- x_{3} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}$ = $- a x_{3} \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}$ (4g) Ga III
$\mathbf{B_{5}}$ = $x_{4} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}+x_{4} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}+\frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3}$ = $a x_{4} \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}$ (4h) Zr I
$\mathbf{B_{6}}$ = $- x_{4} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}- x_{4} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}+\frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3}$ = $- a x_{4} \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}$ (4h) Zr I
