- If we consider the Si2 dimers as a pseudo-atom, then this is a tetragonal distortion of the Cu3Au (L12) structure.
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:
