- (Evers, 2010) implicitly places the Pd atoms at the (2b) Wyckoff position. We have shifted the Pd atoms to the (2a) site.
Simple Orthorhombic primitive vectors:
\[
\begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a}_1 & = & a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} \\
\mathbf{a}_2 & = & b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\
\mathbf{a}_3 & = & c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\
\end{array}
\]
Basis vectors:
\[ \begin{array}{ccccccc} & & \mbox{Lattice Coordinates} & & \mbox{Cartesian Coordinates} &\mbox{Wyckoff Position} & \mbox{Atom Type} \\ \mathbf{B}_{1} & = & 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & 0 \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + 0 \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + 0 \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(2a\right) & \mbox{Pd} \\ \mathbf{B}_{2} & = & \frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & \frac{1}{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac{1}{2}b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac{1}{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(2a\right) & \mbox{Pd} \\ \mathbf{B}_{3} & = & x_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + y_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} & = & x_{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + y_{2}b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} & \left(4g\right) & \mbox{Cl} \\ \mathbf{B}_{4} & = & -x_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}-y_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} & = & -x_{2}a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}}-y_{2}b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} & \left(4g\right) & \mbox{Cl} \\ \mathbf{B}_{5} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} - x_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \left(\frac{1}{2} +y_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} - x_{2}\right)a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \left(\frac{1}{2} +y_{2}\right)b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac{1}{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(4g\right) & \mbox{Cl} \\ \mathbf{B}_{6} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} +x_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \left(\frac{1}{2} - y_{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & \left(\frac{1}{2} +x_{2}\right)a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \left(\frac{1}{2} - y_{2}\right)b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac{1}{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(4g\right) & \mbox{Cl} \\ \end{array} \]References
