  • Experimentally, the (48f) site is a random mixture of composition W2/3Fe1/3. We use W for this site in the pictures above.

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a}_1 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \mathbf{a}_2 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \mathbf{a}_3 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\ \end{array} \]
