- Space group $I4$ #79 allows us to make an arbitrary choice for the origin of the $z$-axes, which we used to move the Tl-I atom to the origin. Our original version of this structure (Hicks, 2019) did not do this correctly. We now present the correct structure.
\[ \begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a_{1}}&=&- \frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}- \frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}
\end{array}\]
