- As noted by (Pearson, 1972), this structure is very nearly cubic close-packed. As such, it is frequently used for cluster expansion models.
Base-centered Monoclinic primitive vectors:
\[
\begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a}_1 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} - \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\
\mathbf{a}_2 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\
\mathbf{a}_3 & = & c \cos\beta \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + c \sin\beta \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}
\end{array}
