  • This is a simple defect superstructure of the CsCl (B2) structure. One atom has been removed from a 2$\times$2$\times$2 supercell of CsCl.

Body-centered Cubic primitive vectors:

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

Basis vectors:
