While searching for a software to plot a crystallographic representation of a particular material, I have come across two sources that seem to give two very different views of a same material. In this case, it is CoSb3.
On the one hand there is
from ASE (Atomic Simulation Environment), a software in Python with a database.
On the other hand there is https://materialsproject.org/materials/mp-1317/ from the Materials Project website. With the mouse, we can change the orientation we see the part of the crystal, but I see no way to get anything close to the above picture.
So I am not sure whether they are both unreliable sources, or if they are equivalent (and trustworthy) or if one of them is wrong and the other is correct, etc.
In the end I am not interested in CoSb3 in particular, but in another compound, and I am not sure which source to use.
