[Pw_forum] problem in making monoclinic supercell

[Yoshioka]

Hi, Mohnish,

 

You can not mix two ways for describing crystal. Either you can describe
symmetry in a,b,c,cosab,cosbc,cosac or you can set celldm(n) n=1.6,

 

Since you give a,b,c first, program will automatically expect cosab.. et
al., When program can not find it, it will think cosab. are zero.

Subject: [Pw_forum] problem in making monoclinic supercell

 

Dear PWSCF users,
                              

  I am using PWSCF for BaTiO3 thin films calculation, I just wanted to
visualize the (110) surface of the same by xcrysden. I am pasting the input
PWSCF file for the same, the problem is my system is monoclinic but xcrysden
is showing it to be cubic, may be I am doing some mistake. Please anybody
help me out to fix the problem. The calcualtin is for one layer.

Sincere thanks in advance,
Mohnish
