The CaIn₂ Crystal 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)

---

• When z = 0 this reduces to the AlB₂ (C32), aka the hexagonal ω phase.

• Prototype: CaIn₂
• Pearson Symbol: hP6
• Space Group: P6₃/mmc (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 194
• Reference: Pearson, Alloys, pp. 449-500.
• Primitive Vectors:

  A1	=	½ a X - ½ 31/2 a Y
  A2	=	½ a X + ½ 31/2 a Y
  A3	=	c Z

• Basis Vectors:

  B1	=	¼ A3	=	+ ¼ c Z	(Ca)	(2b)
  B2	=	+ ¾ A3	=	+ ¾ c Z	(Ca)	(2b)
  B3	=	1/3 A1 + 2/3 A2 + z A3	=	½ a X + 12-½ a Y + z c Z	(In)	(4f)
  B4	=	2/3 A1 + 1/3 A2 + (½ + z) A3	=	½ a X - 12-½ a Y + (½ + z) c Z	(In)	(4f)
  B5	=	1/3 A1 + 2/3 A2 + (½ - z) A3	=	½ a X + 12-½ a Y + (½ - z) c Z	(In)	(4f)
  B6	=	2/3 A1 + 1/3 A2 - z A3	=	½ a X - 12-½ a Y - z c Z	(In)	(4f)
