- We take the name of this structure from (Donohue, 1976). This is the high temperature phase of sulfur, stable from 95$^\circ$C to the melting point at 115$^\circ$C, although it can be kept at room temperatures for some time. (Templeton, 1976)
- This is a refinement of the original structure found by (Sands, 1965). There are two types of sulfur atoms in this sample:
- atoms S-I through S-VIII form stable sulfur rings with all the sites fully occupied, just as in the ground state $\alpha$–S ($A16$).
- Atoms S-IX through S-XVI form a ring with one of two orientations, randomly chosen.
- The S-IX through S-XVI sites are thus half occupied, so there are only 48 atoms and six sulfur rings in any unit cell. Contrast this with $A_{k}$ selenium, which has eight complete rings in the unit cell.
- Both $A_{k}$ selenium and $\beta$-monoclinic sulfur have the same AFLOW prototype label, A_mP64_14_16e. They are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (
--params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.
