If <br>1. you know there are 18 atoms in a unit cell<br>2. AND if you know their Cartesian coordinates <br>3. AND if you don't want to use the Bravais-lattice index, <br><br>you could use<br>1. ibrav=0 <br>2. AND define your unit cell (using CELL_PARAMETERS): nothing more than the 3 "primitive" lattice vectors<br>
3. AND ATOMIC_POSITIONS: I suggest that you should use crystal coordinates instead of using Cartesian coordinates.<br><br>You can find description in <a href="http://www.quantum-espresso.org/input-syntax/INPUT_PW.html">http://www.quantum-espresso.org/input-syntax/INPUT_PW.html</a><br>

hi,<br> I need some help in drawing crystal using xcrysden. Sir/Madam, let us take the case of FCC for which ibrav=2, and celldm(1)=9.000. Now if i know that i have 18 atoms in my unit cell and i know the Cartesian co-ordinates{x,y,z} of each atom in angstrom/bhor. I want to know that how can i draw my unit cell with giving positions of all the atoms without using the symmetries by xcrysden??. Means like if i specifiy,<br>
& system<br>ibrav=2, celldm(1)=9.00, nat=1,......<br>ATOMIC POSITIONS{angstrom} <br>A 0 4.5 0<br><br>now if we visualise this type of structure with Xcrysden, we found a number of atoms genrated due to symmetry. If i make a file like <br>
& system<br>
ibrav=2, celldm(1)=9.00, nat=18,......<br>
ATOMIC POSITIONS{angstrom} <br>
A 0 4.5 0<br>/<br>18 times we have specified the co-ordinates<br>/<br>/<br>A 4.5 0 0 <br>Xcrysden will give warning like atom 10 and 90 are very close like that.<br>Sir i want to know is there any way so that i can make my PWSCF input file with angstrom/bohr postions such that with one atomic postion Xcrysden will show only one atom??<br>
Means i will give 18 atomic postions and xcrysden will produce 18 atom unit cell without using symmatries. <br><br>Thanks for your help,<br><font color="#888888">Neel Singh,<br>Univeristy of Delhi,<br>India<br></font></td>
