<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thank you for the quick answer! As I understood it I switched the 1<sup>st</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> column of the CELL_PARAMETERS array so that the surface is in the XY plane and not the ZY plane and now the code does
not give the “</span>Error in routine vloc_of_g (1):<span lang="EN-US">” error, however, the “2D CODE WILL NOT WORK, 2D MATERIAL NOT IN X-Y PLANE!!” error remains… I guess this might indeed be due to the non-orthogonal cell, but I was wondering if it is possible
to adjust the cell in any way so that it is orthogonal without fundamentally changing the system properties? This might be a very stupid question but I’m still a little bit new in doing calculations on solid state systems, so I don’t know what is and what
isn’t possible in such a case. My instinct says it might not be physically possible to create an orthogonal cell which maintains the symmetry of the surface, but if it could be possible this would be very useful for me as I also have had other problems which
would have been resolved if my cell was orthogonal…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
