Dear Andrey,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This is normally achieved making a surface supercell with lattice vectors given by a linear combination of the lattice vectors of the non-rectangular cell. For the case of Al2O3 (0001), since the gamma angle is 120°, you want build a cell with
u’=u and v’=u+2v, where u and v are the original surface lattice vectors and u’ and v’ the ones for the rectangular cell.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You can for example do this in VESTA, Edit->Edit Data->Unit Cell. First remove the symmetry to get a P1 structure and the with the “Option" button redefine you lattice as ((1 1 0), (0 2 0), (0 0 1)).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Hope that helps.</div>
