| description | Fractional coordinates of the basis atoms in the conventional unit cell. If the unit cell vectors are denoted by <a>, <b>, and <c>, and the fractional coordinates of atom 'i' are [afrac_i, bfrac_i, cfrac_i], the value of 'basis-atom-coordinates' will be of the form [[afrac_1 bfrac_1 cfrac_1] [afrac_2 bfrac_2 cfrac_2] ... ]. All components of each basis atom should be between zero and one, inclusive of zero. |
