The C34 (AuTe₂, Calaverite) 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)

---

• Removing the Au atoms gives a structure with the same Wyckoff positions as αO₂.

• Prototype: AuTe₂
• Pearson Symbol: mC6
• Strukturbericht Designation: C34
• Space Group: C2/m (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 12
• Other compounds with this structure: Au₁₀Se₃Te₁₇
• 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	=		0		(Au)	(2a)
  B2	=	+ x ( A1 + A2 ) + z A3	=	+ [ x a + z c cos(β)] X + z c sin(β) Z	(Te)	(4i)
  B3	=	- x ( A1 + A2 ) - z A3	=	- [ x a + z c cos(β)] X - z c sin(β) Z	(Te)	(4i)

See these vectors LaTeX output format.
