The CdTe 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)

---

• Without loss of generality we can take z₁ = 0.

• Prototype: CdTe
• Pearson Symbol: oP2
• Space Group: Pmm2 (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 25
• Reference: Pearson's Handbook, Vol. II, p. 2186.
• Other Compounds with this Structure: AsGa (16.6 > P > 24 GPa) [Pearson's Handbook, Vol. I, p. 1135]
• Primitive Vectors:

  A1	=	a X
  A2	=	b Y
  A3	=	c Z

• Basis Vectors:

  B1	=	z1 A3	=	z1 c Z	(Te)	(1a)
  B2	=	½ A2 + z2 A3	=	+ ½ a Y + z2 c Z	(Cd)	(1b)
