Abstract

• The lengthy discussion of the structure determination of the Ni10Zr7 phase illustrates the utility of symmetry in reducing work. Had there been no use of symmetry, the determination of the structures would have required the determination of the positional coordinates of 68 atoms, or a total of 204 positional parameters. The inclusion of the symmetry constraints reduced this number to 24. This is a reduction in number in excess of eightfold.
