The Niobium Oxide (NbO) 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)

---

• This is just the Sodium Chloride (B1) structure with one atom of each type missing.

---

• Prototype: NbO
• Pearson Symbol: cP6
• Space Group: Pm3m (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 221
• Primitive Vectors:

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

• Basis Vectors:

  B1	=	½ A2 + ½ A3	=	½ aY + ½ aZ	(Nb)	(3c)
  B2	=	½ A1 + ½ A3	=	½ aX + ½ aZ	(Nb)	(3c)
  B3	=	½ A1 + ½ A2	=	½ aX + ½ aY	(Nb)	(3c)
  B4	=	½ A1	=	½ aX	(O)	(3d)
  B5	=	½ A2	=	½ aY	(O)	(3d)
  B6	=	½ A3	=	½ aZ	(O)	(3d)

See these vectors in a LaTeX output format.
