5. The crystal structure of R Te3 belongs to the Cmcm space group, which is orthorhombic. However, the in-plane lattice constants a and c differ by approximately (c-a) /a∼0.3% and 0.5% in CeTe3 and LaTe3, respectively (in the standard space-group setting, the b axis is perpendicular to the Te planes).
