  • This structure has the same AFLOW label, ABC3_hP10_194_c_a_h, as the high-temperature GdBO$_{3}$ structure, but the $c/a$ ration of GdBO$_{3}$ is more than twice that of BaNiO$_{3}$, so we treat them as different structures. The structures are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (--params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.
  • Note that the ICSD entry for this structure places the barium atom on the (2d) site rather than the (2c) site as given by (Lander, 1951). This results in a rather profound difference in the structure.

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