hi fluidistic! :smile:

i think it means rhombohedral,

see http://cst-www.nrl.navy.mil/lattice/struk/l1_1.html :wink:

Thank you very much tiny-tim! I've plotted the position of these atoms in VMD to visualize them in 3d.
Another question for anyone who knows: when they say
papers said:
Ag composition is around 50 at. %
what do they mean by . %? Do they simply mean that there's 50% of Ag in the sample? This looks a rather strange way of saying it.

i'm guessing … could "at." be short for "atoms"? :confused:
 
at. % denotes percentage based on the number of atoms (also moles). While w% denotes percentage based on the weight.
 
Thank you infinitely guys. I wouldn't have figured it out on my own.
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
