<div>Thank you , Eyvaz.</div>
<div> I still have a confusion : why does the modified ecutrho affect the system's symmetry ?</div>
<div><br>Regards</div>

<br>monoclinic lattice, i.e. ibrav=14. The space group has<br>16 symmetry elements, but your choice after correcting<br>ecutrho gives only 4 symmetry elements .<br><br>Imagine FCC lattice and its conventional basis<br>vectors now. According to you now we have to put
<br>ibrav=4 or 5. But ibrav=2 for FCC lattice.<br><br>In addition, I also checked your input file via<br>XCrysDen before I replied previously. Yes, there is no<br>problem with it, but a figure does not look like<br>anatase though you used nonzero ibrav. XcrysDen
<br>usually replicates atomic positions if ibrav.neq.0.<br>For example, if you put ibrav=0 for FCC cell and<br>specify conventional CELL_PARAMETERS you will find a<br>rhombohedron, but using ibrav=2 and default basis
<br>vectors you find a cubic cell.<br><br>Bests,<br>Eyvaz.<br><br><br>--- lan haiping <<a href="mailto:lanhaiping@gmail.com">lanhaiping@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br>> Dear Eyvaz,<br>> Thank you.<br>> I checked the strcuture again using XCRYSDEN,
