Other compounds with this structure

  • NbNi8

  • $a = 3/\left(\sqrt{2}\right)a_{fcc}$, $c = a_{fcc}$, $x_2 = 1/3$, and $x_3 = 1/3$, the atoms are on the sites of the fcc lattice. The pictures here are drawn with these parameters, with $a_{fcc}$ appropriate for nickel. Compare this to the very similar V4Zn5 structure.

Body-centered Tetragonal primitive vectors:

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