  • The origin of the $z$ axis is arbitrary. We have chosen to place the Ge (2a) atom at the origin, taking $z_{1} = 0$. (Schubert, 1960) instead set $z_{4} = 0$.

Body-centered Tetragonal primitive vectors:

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