<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div>Thank you very much for the reply Dr. Conesa.</div><div>As a follow up question, is it a convention to represent the symmetry of the primitive unit cell as that of the conventional cell because by looking at the crystal structure of the primitive unit cell for the above mentioned system i.e Gallium Oxide, it appears to be triclinic and hence the P1 symmetry.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank You,</div><div>Ankit Sharma</div><div>University at Buffalo<br></div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
