- This structure was found by first-principles electronic structure calculations and is predicted to be the stable structure of H2S in the range $80 - 140 GPa. The data presented here was computed at 90 GPa. The original reference places H atoms on (1g), (1f) and (2i) sites, with S atoms on (2i) sites. We have changed the origin so that the H atoms are now on (1a), (1e) and (2i) sites.
