  • This structure was found by first-principles electronic structure calculations and is predicted to be the stable structure of H2S in the range $40 - 80 GPa. The data presented here was computed at 70 GPa. H2S (A2B_oP12_26_abc_ab, H2S) and $\beta$–SeO2 (A2B_oP12_26_abc_ab, SeO2) have the same AFLOW prototype label. They are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (––params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.
