Thank you. Could you please help me with answering my second question.

Unfortunately, our languages are not the same. I talk about conventional cell, but you talk about primitive cell. My problem is about P.B.C. in the code.

Again. There is only one independent particle and there are no symmetry operations involved and no positions generated. Please look it up and don't speculated and guess.

Yes, of course it has 4 independent particles. But my main problem is about the algorithm of periodic boundary condition in the code. You must introduce the shared atoms in the unit cell or not. I think the symmetry operators produce these positions automatically.

nope.

a fcc lattice has only one atom. that is in the *primitive* cell
(which is what QE uses). what you describe is the conventional cell,
which would be a simple cubic lattice but that would not have 14 atoms
but 4 atoms (1 in the corner and 3 in the faces, because the corners
are shared by 8 cells and the faces by 2).

i suggest you re-read the chapters covering these topics in your
favorite book on crystallography to work this out.
