  • $\delta$–V$_{4}$D$_{3}$ is the only completely ordered structure in the Vanadium-Hydrogen/Deuterium system (Asano, 1973). Even then, the deuterium sites are only 98% occupied.
  • The data for this structure was obtained at 88K.
  • While (Asano, 1973) placed this in space group $Pcc2$ #27, (Cenzual, 1991) showed that the published coordinates placed the system in space group $Pccm$ #49.

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a_{1}}&=&a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}} \end{array}\]
