The BaPtSb Structure

You can now

• see the structure from several perspectives;
• examine the structure with an external viewer; or
• download the coordinates of the atoms in these pictures in XYZ format.
• visualize the structure (Uses the JMOL Applet)

---

• If we replace the Sb atoms by Pt the structure becomes the hexagonal omega (C32) phase.
• If we remove either the Pt or Sb atom the structure becomes the WC (B_h) phase.
