Hi Linh<br>thanks a lot for your suggestion. but u didn't get my problem. I think i was too brief. actually i have made a supercell with 1x1x6 for Ni 100 plane i.e 12 layers as <br>CELL_PARAMETERS {cubic}<br>6.66 0 0<br>
0 6.66 0<br>0 0 39.96<br><br>ATOMIC_POSITIONS {crystal}<br>Ni 0.000 0.000 0.000<br>Ni 0.5 0.5 0.0<br>Ni 0.5 0.0 0.0833<br>Ni 0.0 0.5 0.0833<br>Ni 0.000 0.000 0.1667<br>
Ni 0.5 0.5 0.1667<br>Ni 0.5 0.0 0.2500<br>Ni 0.0 0.5 0.2500<br>....<br>out of the 12 layers i want to rigidly translate 6 layers in any x or y direction. when i change the coordinates of atoms in x or y the supercell gets deformed. how to do that.<br>

</div>In order to estimate the positions of atoms on the planes in the<br>
supercell, you should clarify:<br>
- which kind of structure that you want to consider, i.e. (111) or<br>
(100) or (110) surfaces.<br>
- size of supercell, such as: 2x2x2, or 2x2x4. The height of vacuum<br>
space.<br>
- Then, you handle the positions of the atoms associate with the sizes<br>
of the supercell.<br>
<br>
I would like to send to you an example to make clear about forming a<br>
<div class="im">supercell.<br>
<br>

<br>
</div>In order to constrain the atoms on the planes, in the card<br>
ATOMIC_POSITION, you put as:<br>
Ni X(1) Y(1) Z(1) 0 0 0<br>
it means that the positions of that atom will be fixed while relaxing of<br>
models is happening.<br>
