Prototype Cu$_{4}$Ti$_{3}$
AFLOW prototype label A4B3_tI14_139_2e_ae-001
ICSD 103134
Pearson symbol tI14
Space group number 139
Space group symbol $I4/mmm$
AFLOW prototype command aflow --proto=A4B3_tI14_139_2e_ae-001
--params=$a, \allowbreak c/a, \allowbreak z_{2}, \allowbreak z_{3}, \allowbreak z_{4}$

  • When c = 7 a, z$_{2}$ = 1/7, z$_{3}$ = 3/7, and z$_{4}$ = 2/7 the atoms are on the sites of the bcc lattice.

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