<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear colleagues,</div><div><br></div><div>I want to calculate Volume-Energy data for R3c and R-3c BiFeO3, respectively.</div><div><br></div><div>I started from a paraelectric R-3c BFO, after conducting ‘relax' with constraining in different volumes (Bi and Fe atomic positions are fixed at highly symmytrical points in each case), I find that at some volumes, the symmetry of the structure is decreaed to R3c. In addition, for the similar calculations starting from a ferroelectric R3c BFO, some structures become R3 aftere realx calculations are done.</div><div><br></div><div>But, in order to get the V-E data, I think we must fix the space group throughout the relax calculations. Is there any method which can be used to solve this problem?</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks</div><div>Fang<br>-- <br></div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<div>Yue-Wen FANG, PhD student<div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><a href="http://english.ecnu.edu.cn/" target="_blank">East China Normal University</a>, China</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Japan Fine Ceramics Center, Japan</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
