[Wien] the difference between Zinc blende and Sphalerite structure

[f.tran at pci.uzh.ch]

Hi,

sphalerite and zinc blende are two different names for the same structure (B3).
It's like rock salt and sodium chloride which are the same (B1).

Dear WIEN2k users
 I want to study the InSb and GaSb compounds, InSb has zinc blende structure but GaSb has Sphalerite structure, I have made the zinc blende structure with two positions (000) and (1/4,1/4.1/4) with a fcc structure, but I don’t know how can I make the Sphalerite structure, Is this structure the same as the zinc blende structure, if they are  same why don’t they have the same name?.
