The αO₂ 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)

---

• Prototype: αO₂
• Pearson Symbol: mC4
• Space Group: C2/m (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 12
• Reference: R. J. Meier and R. B. Helmholdt, Phys. Rev. B 29, 1387 (1984)
• Primitive Vectors:

  A1	=	½ a X - ½ b Y
  A2	=	½ a X + ½ b Y
  A3	=	c cos(β) X + c sin(β) Z

• Basis Vectors:

  B1	=	+ x ( A1 + A2 ) + z A3	=	+ [ x a + z c cos(β)] X + z c sin(β) Z	(O)	(4i)
  B2	=	- x ( A1 + A2 ) - z A3	=	- [ x a + z c cos(β)] X - z c sin(β) Z	(O)	(4i)
