$\alpha$–FeSe Structure: AB_oC8_67_a_g
| Prototype | : | FeSe |
| AFLOW prototype label | : | AB_oC8_67_a_g |
| Strukturbericht designation | : | None |
| Pearson symbol | : | oC8 |
| Space group number | : | 67 |
| Space group symbol | : | $Cmma$ |
| AFLOW prototype command | : | aflow --proto=AB_oC8_67_a_g --params=$a,b/a,c/a,z_{2}$ |
- We follow the reference in calling this $\alpha$–FeSe. Some other authorities refer to the $B10$ (PbO)–like phase of FeSe as $\alpha$–FeSe, calling this phase $\beta$–FeSe. The authors note that
the Se ion concentration is close to 1
. The data is presented for the structure at 7 K. $\alpha$–FeSe ($\alpha$–FeSe AB_oC8_67_a_g) and $\alpha$–PbO ($\alpha$–PbO AB_oC8_67_a_g) have the same AFLOW prototype label. They are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (––params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.
Base-centered Orthorhombic primitive vectors:
\[
\begin{array}{ccc}

\mathbf{a}_2 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\
\mathbf{a}_3 & = & c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\
