Dear users,<br><br> I did the structural optimization of a compound belongs to the space group <i><b>Ibam</b><b>-72</b></i> (body centred orthorhombic) using variable cell (vc-relax) method. <br> <br> lattice parameter (alat) = 10.5862 a.u.<br>
unit-cell volume = 675.9126 (a.u.)^3<br><br>The initial basis vectors <br> a(1) = ( 0.500000 0.529989 0.537487 ) <br> a(2) = ( -0.500000 0.529989 0.537487 ) <br>
a(3) = ( -0.500000 -0.529989 0.537487 ) <br clear="all"><br>After the structural optimization the vectors are<br><br> new unit-cell volume = 614.83507 a.u.^3 ( 91.10916 Ang^3 )<br><br> CELL_PARAMETERS (alat= 10.58624499)<br>
0.529016060 0.479936985 0.510293152<br> -0.529016060 0.479936985 0.510293152<br> -0.529016060 -0.479936985 0.510293152<br><br>1. How to calculate the lattice parameters for this case ?<br><br>2. How to do the same for all the non cubic systems ? <br>
<br>Can some body please explain me any method or reference books to do the same ?<br><br><br>Thanking you<br><br>Regards<br>KONDAL<br><br><br>
