  • (Rösler, 1951) give the structure in setting 1 of space group #125. We have shifted this to our standard setting 2. (Pearson, 1958) states that this structure is related to $C16$ (A2B_tI12_140_h_a).

Simple Tetragonal primitive vectors:

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

\[ \begin{array}{ccccccc} & & \text{Lattice Coordinates} & & \text{Cartesian Coordinates} &\text{Wyckoff Position} & \text{Atom Type} \\ \mathbf{B}_{1} & = & \frac{1}{4} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \frac{1}{4} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} & = & \frac{1}{4}a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac{1}{4}a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} & \left(2a\right) & \text{Pt} \\ \mathbf{B}_{2} & = & \frac{3}{4} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \frac{3}{4} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} & = & \frac{3}{4}a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac{3}{4}a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} & \left(2a\right) & \text{Pt} \\ \mathbf{B}_{3} & = & x_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}-x_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & x_{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}}-x_{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(8m\right) & \text{Pb} \\ \mathbf{B}_{4} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} - x_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \left(\frac{1}{2} +x_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} - x_{2}\right)a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \left(\frac{1}{2} +x_{2}\right)a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(8m\right) & \text{Pb} \\ \mathbf{B}_{5} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} +x_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + x_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} +x_{2}\right)a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + x_{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(8m\right) & \text{Pb} \\ \mathbf{B}_{6} & = & -x_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \left(\frac{1}{2} - x_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & -x_{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \left(\frac{1}{2} - x_{2}\right)a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(8m\right) & \text{Pb} \\ \mathbf{B}_{7} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} - x_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{1}-x_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}-z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} - x_{2}\right)a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}}-x_{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}}-z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(8m\right) & \text{Pb} \\ \mathbf{B}_{8} & = & x_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \left(\frac{1}{2} +x_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{2}-z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & x_{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \left(\frac{1}{2} +x_{2}\right)a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}}-z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(8m\right) & \text{Pb} \\ \mathbf{B}_{9} & = & -x_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + x_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}-z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & -x_{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + x_{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}}-z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(8m\right) & \text{Pb} \\ \mathbf{B}_{10} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} +x_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \left(\frac{1}{2} - x_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{2}-z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} +x_{2}\right)a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \left(\frac{1}{2} - x_{2}\right)a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}}-z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(8m\right) & \text{Pb} \\ \end{array} \]
