[Pw_forum] Wrong ELF values

[Claudia Loyola]

Hello!

yes, you are right if I define the vectors in function of "a" and I define
alat=a , but let me show you how I define the vectors in the scf input file:

&SYSTEM
  ibrav = 0 ,
  celldm(1) =1.0 ,
.
.
.
CELL_PARAMETERS (alat=1.0)
  19.109476287  -0.014917030   0.000000953
  -9.542147268  16.554932043   0.000000170
   0.000000706   0.000000344  14.136501037

so in this case the vector basis are the real large in bohr, and the alat is
1.0 like celldm(1). Indeed, the value of the vectors for pp.x are in
function of alat, but my alat is 1.0, so I can write directly in bohr the
values of the planes that I take, in fact I take "two replicates" in each
direction. I think this is correct too.

Thank you very much for your comments :)

regards,
Claudia Loyola
