The AgAuTe₄ (E1_b) 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)

• 26 May 2003: the Te atoms sit on the general (4g) sites of P2/c. The positions are correct, but the we had labeled the sites (4f).
