  • (Ewald, 1931) and later (Pearson, 1958) both doubled the unit cell and gave this structure the Pearson symbol tP4. This structure has the same AFLOW designation, AB_tP2_123_a_d, as $\delta$-CuTi ($L2_{a}$). The only difference in the structures is the $c/a$ ratio. $L1_{0}$ has $c/a \approx \sqrt{2}$, characteristitic of face-centered cubic ordering, while $L2_{a}$ has $c/a \approx 1$, a body-centered cubic-like system.

Simple Tetragonal primitive vectors:

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

Basis vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccccccc} & & \text{Lattice Coordinates} & & \text{Cartesian Coordinates} &\text{Wyckoff Position} & \text{Atom Type} \\ \mathbf{B}_{1} & =&0 \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & =&0 \mathbf{\hat{x}} + 0 \mathbf{\hat{y}} + 0 \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(1a\right) & \text{Au} \\ \mathbf{B}_{2} & =&\frac12 \, \mathbf{a}_{1}+ \frac12 \, \mathbf{a}_{2}+ \frac12 \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =&\frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}}+ \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}}+ \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(1d\right) & \text{Cu} \\ \end{array} \]
