  • The original version of this page inadvertantly used the lattice constants for CaZn$_{5}$ (a = 5.405Å, c = 4.183Å) rather than those for CaCu$_{5}$ (a = 5.082Å, c = 4.078Å). This has now been corrected.

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a_{1}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}} \end{array}\]
