Ni$_{8}$Mo, Ni$_{8}$Nb, Ni$_{8}$Ta, Ni$_{8}$V, Pd$_{8}$Mo, Pd$_{8}$V, Pd$_{8}$W, Pt$_{8}$Ce, Pt$_{8}$Ti, Pt$_{8}$V, Pt$_{8}$Zr
- When $a=3/(\sqrt{2})a_{fcc}$, $c=a_{fcc}$, $x_{2}=1/3$, and $x_{3}=1/3$ the atoms are on the sites of the fcc lattice. Compare this structure to the very similar V$_{4}$Zn$_{5}$.
\[ \begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a_{1}}&=&- \frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}- \frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}
\end{array}\]
