The CuTi₃ (L6₀) Structure

You can now

• see the structure from several perspectives;
• examine the structure with an external viewer; or
• download the coordinates of the atoms in these pictures in XYZ format.
• visualize the structure (Uses the JMOL Applet)

• This is a tetragonal distortion of the L1₂ (Cu₃Au) structure. The atoms are at the positions of a face centered cubic lattice when c = a. The structure is obviously related to the L1₀ (CuAu) structure, and Pearson's Handbook isn't very consistent about what is L1₀ and what is L6₀.

• Prototype: CuTi₃
• Pearson Symbol: tP4
• Strukturbericht Designation: L6₀
• Space Group: P4/mmm (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 123
• Primitive Vectors:

  A1	=	a X
  A2	=	a Y
  A3	=	c Z

• Basis Vectors:

  B1	=		0		(Cu)	(1a)
  B2	=	½ A1 + ½ A2	=	½ a X + ½ a Y	(Ti I)	(1c)
  B3	=	½ A2 + ½ A3	=	½ a Y + ½ c Z	(Ti II)	(2e)
  B4	=	½ A1 + ½ A3	=	½ a X + ½ c Z	(Ti II)	(2e)

See these vectors in a LaTeX output format.
