The CuTe Structure

You can now

• see the structure from several perspectives;
• examine the structure with an external viewer; or
• download the coordinates of the atoms in these pictures in XYZ format.
• visualize the structure (Uses the JMOL Applet)

---

• Note that there is an inversion center at

  ¼ A₁ + ¼ A₂ = ¼ a X + ¼ b Y

---

• Prototype: CuTe
• Pearson Symbol: oP4
• Space Group: Pmmn (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 59
• Primitive Vectors:

  A1	=	a X
  A2	=	b Y
  A3	=	c Z

• Basis Vectors:

  B1	=	+ z1 A3	=	+ z1 c Z	(2a)	(Te)
  B2	=	½ A1 + ½ A2 - z1 A3	=	½ a X + ½ Y - z1 c Z	(2a)	(Te)
  B3	=	½ A2 + z2 A3	=	½ Y + z2 c Z	(2b)	(Cu)
  B4	=	½ A1 - z2 A3	=	½ X - z2 c Z	(2b)	(Cu)
