  • We use the data for SrMn$_{7}$O$_{12}$ taken at 295K. Below 265K it undergoes an incommensurate structural transition. (Belik, 2016)
  • Some authors use CaMn$_{7}$O$_{12}$ as the prototype.
  • At high temperatures CaMn$_{7}$O$_{12}$ and PbMn$_{7}$O$_{12}$ transform into the NaMn$_{7}$O$_{12}$ structure.
  • Hexagonal settings of this structure can be obtained with the option --hex.
