  • This is a special quasirandom structure with 16 atoms per unit cell (SQS–16) for a bcc binary substitutional alloy $AxB1–x (Jiang, 2004). This prototype represents the $x=0.25$ and $x=0.75$ structures (change concentration by swapping elements). The $x=0.5$ structure is given by AB_aP16_2_4i_4i.
