47. The symbol " indicates that the Zn-H (or Zn-O) bond parallels the c axis, while the other directions are denoted as " ⊥." For the VZn, there are four O atoms around the vacancy, with one O atom aligned along the c axis, i.e. the initial Zn-O bond parallel to the c axis, and three O atoms aligned in other directions. We denote the former as O and the latter as O⊥.
