  • When $z_{1}=1/4$, $z_{2}=5/12$, and $z_{3}=1/12$, the atoms are on the sites of the indium (A6) lattice. If, in this case, $c=6a$, the atoms are on the sites of a face-centered cubic lattice, and if $c=a/\sqrt{2}$, the atoms are on the site of a body-centered cubic lattice. This lattice is placed with the face-centered cubic lattices because most known structures have $c$ near $6a$.

Body-centered Tetragonal primitive vectors:

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