Fig. 2: Comparison of \(Fm\bar{3}m\) and \(P\bar{4}3m\) crystal structures.
From: Vacancy-free cubic superconducting NbN enabled by quantum anharmonicity

a Superposition of the \(Fm\bar{3}m\) (green) and \(P\bar{4}3m\) (blue) NbN crystal structures, showing all atoms of each structure in a single color. The overlay highlights how \(P\bar{4}3m\) distorts from the high-symmetry \(Fm\bar{3}m\) phase. Structures visualized with VESTA74. b Simulated XRD patterns using Cu Kα radiation75.
