- (Müller, 1974) gives this structure in the
unique axis-$c$
setting of space group $P2_{1}/m$ #11. We used FINDSYM to transform this to the standardunique axis-$b$
setting.
\[ \begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a_{1}}&=&a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \cos{\beta} \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+c \sin{\beta} \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}
