  • When $c = 2 a$, $z_{1} = 1/8$, and $z_{2} = 5/8$, the atoms are on the sites of a body-centered cubic lattice. If, on the other hand, $c = 2\sqrt{2} a$, with the same $x_{i}$, the atoms are on the site of a face-centered cubic lattice. This is the phase that Lu et al. refer to as Z2.

Simple Tetragonal primitive vectors:

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

Basis vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccccccc} & & \text{Lattice Coordinates} & & \text{Cartesian Coordinates} &\text{Wyckoff Position} & \text{Atom Type} \\ \mathbf{B}_{1} & =&\frac14 \, \mathbf{a}_{1}+ \frac14 \, \mathbf{a}_{2}+ z_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =&\frac14 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}}+ \frac14 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}}+ z_{1} \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(2c\right) & \text{Cu} \\ \mathbf{B}_{2} & =&\frac34 \, \mathbf{a}_{1}+ \frac34 \, \mathbf{a}_{2}- z_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =&\frac34 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}}+ \frac34 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}}- z_{1} \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(2c\right) & \text{Cu} \\ \mathbf{B}_{3} & =&\frac14 \, \mathbf{a}_{1}+ \frac14 \, \mathbf{a}_{2}+ z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =&\frac14 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}}+ \frac14 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}}+ z_{2} \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(2c\right) & \text{Ti} \\ \mathbf{B}_{4} & =&\frac34 \, \mathbf{a}_{1}+ \frac34 \, \mathbf{a}_{2}- z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =&\frac34 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}}+ \frac34 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}}- z_{2} \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(2c\right) & \text{Ti} \\ \end{array} \]
