Ni$_{3}$GeTe$_{2}$
- (Deiseroth, 2006) note that the Fe (2c) site has 83% occupancy, and Ge (2d) 99%. The nearly isostructural Ni$_{3}$GeTe$_{2}$ is identical to the parent structure with nickel on the iron sites, except that the Ni (2c) site is split: the (2c) site is 70% occupied, and the (2a) (0,0,0) site contains 25% nickel.
