  • Either the 3 Al atoms or Al (1a) and the Ni atoms form a trigonal omega structure. Using the choices of internal parameters for Al3Ni2, this can be viewed as a five-layer close-packed unit cell with stacking ABCBCA.

Trigonal Hexagonal primitive vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a}_1 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}2 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\ \mathbf{a}_2 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}2 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\ \mathbf{a}_3 & = & c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}\\ \end{array} \]

Basis vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccccccc} & & \text{Lattice Coordinates} & & \text{Cartesian Coordinates} &\text{Wyckoff Position} & \text{Atom Type} \\ \mathbf{B_1} & = & 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & 0 \mathbf{\hat{x}} + 0 \mathbf{\hat{y}} + 0 \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(1a\right) & \text{Al I} \\ \mathbf{B_2} & =& \frac13 \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \frac23 \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + z_2 \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =& \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac1{2\sqrt{3}} \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} +z_2 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(2d\right) & \text{Al II} \\ \mathbf{B_3} & =& \frac23 \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \frac13 \, \mathbf{a}_{2} - z_2 \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =& \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} - \frac1{2\sqrt{3}} \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} -z_2 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(2d\right) & \text{Al II} \\ \mathbf{B_4} & =& \frac13 \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \frac23 \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + z_3 \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =& \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac1{2\sqrt{3}} \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} +z_3 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(2d\right) & \text{Ni} \\ \mathbf{B_5} & =& \frac23 \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \frac13 \, \mathbf{a}_{2} - z_3 \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =& \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} - \frac1{2\sqrt{3}} \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} -z_3 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(2d\right) & \text{Ni} \\ \end{array} \]
