have a question regarding the usage of crystal_sg option to specify
atomic position in pw input file. I'm trying make pw i/p file for TiO2
rutile system. its space group # is 136 , Ti is at 2a site and O is at 4e site.so from ITA i have the following i/p data<br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>Ti 2a (0, 0, 0) (0.5, 0.5, 0.5)<br></div>O 4e (0, 0, z) (0.5, 0.5, z+1/2) (0.5, 0.5, -z+1/2)(0,0,-z)<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">the z value is 0.305. so from this i have created following pw.x input file <br><br>&control<br> calculation ='scf'<br> restart_mode = 'from_scratch',<br> prefix = 'ge'<br> pseudo_dir = '/home/pearl/qe-5.4.0/pseudo/',<br> outdir ='/home/pearl/qe-5.4.0/tio2/tmp/'<br> /<br> &system<br> ibrav = 6 ,<br> space_group = 136,<br> A = 4.59373 ,<br> C = 2.95812 ,<br> nat = 2 , <br> ntyp = 2 ,<br> ecutwfc = 20.0 ,<br> ecutrho = 80.0 ,<br> occupations = 'smearing' ,<br> degauss = 0.1 ,<br> smearing = 'gaussian' ,<br> /<br> &electrons<br> conv_thr = 1.0d-8 ,<br> mixing_beta = 0.7 ,<br> /<br>ATOMIC_SPECIES<br> Ti 47.867 Ti.pz-mt_fhi.UPF<br> O 16.000 O.pz-mt_fhi.UPF<br>ATOMIC_POSITIONS crystal_sg<br>Ti 2a <br>O 4e 0.305<br>K_POINTS automatic<br>4 4 4 0 0 0<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">with this file i'm able to run pw.x without any error message. but the following are my questions :<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">1) the atomic position written in output file by pw.x is very different from the expected. why ?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">from ge.pw.out file i have ( created by pw.x for above input file)<br>Cartesian axes<br> site n. atom positions (alat units)<br> 1 Ti tau( 1) = ( 0.5000000 0.5000000 0.3219736 )<br> 2 Ti tau( 2) = ( 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 )<br> 3 O tau( 3) = ( 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.4475434 )<br> 4 O tau( 4) = ( 0.5000000 0.5000000 0.1255697 )<br> 5 O tau( 5) = ( 0.5000000 0.5000000 0.5183776 )<br> 6 O tau( 6) = ( 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.1964039 )<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">but the atomic positions are (in crystal unit )<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> Ti 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> Ti 0.500000000 0.500000000 0.500000000<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> O 0.305299997 0.305299997 0.000000000<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> O 0.694700003 0.694700003 0.000000000<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> O 0.194700003 0.805299997 0.500000000<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> O 0.805299997 0.194700003 0.500000000<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">my second question is <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">2) why QE is not giving correct atomic position if i use crystal_sg option ?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">cay anyone help me in this regard. with this mail i have enclosed the output file for the given input file<br>Thank you <br><br><b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)">================================<br></span></b></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"><b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)">Muthu V<br></span></b></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"><b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)">Sri Paramakalyani College<br></span></b></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)">Alwarkurichi<br>================================</span></b><br></div></div></div>
