Figure 5
(a) The Li3Al(Ge) subarray projected on the ab plane. They form a distorted simple cubic array. As in CaF2, the N atoms (omitted) occupy alternate cubes of this AlLi3 array. The N atoms form, in turn, a distorted f.c.c. structure like In atoms in In2O3. (b) Stereopair representing a distorted face-centered cube of N atoms (blue spheres) with all the tetrahedral holes occupied by Li (pink) and Al(Ge) (grey) atoms. The structure is a distorted fluorite-like array where the ZnS-blende structure is also implicit. Note the special location of Ge(Al) atoms.
