[Pw_forum] Input file for MgB2C2.

[Eyvaz Isaev]

You have all the info. Please take your decision for which nobody should be responsible.
Analyze the data you have, it is a very good way to learn the code and basics. Read INPUT_PW.txt,  it is very useful. 


Bests,
Eyvaz.

I've some puzzles on which are the lattice vectors should be used for 
this case.  In detail, you can find the following information from the 
webpage: http://cst-www.nrl.navy.mil/lattice/struk/mgb2c2.html

-----------------
   Primitive Vectors:
A1      =      ½ a X - ½ b Y
A2      =      ½ a X + ½ b Y
A3      =      c Z
---------------------

On the other hand, you can find the following information from within 
the mgb2c2.pos file downloaded from here: 
http://cst-www.nrl.navy.mil/lattice/struk.xmol/mgb2c2.pos:

--------------
Primitive vectors
a(1) =   5.46100000 -4.73050000  0.00000000
a(2) =   5.46100000  4.73050000  0.00000000
a(3) =   0.00000000  0.00000000  7.45900000
--------------

So in this case, what's the lattice vectors should I used to construct 
the unit cell, i.e., the [a(1),a(2), a(3)] or the [a,b,c] should be used?

Furthermore, you can find fourty basis vectors listed for MgB2C2 on the 
webpage: http://cst-www.nrl.navy.mil/lattice/struk/mgb2c2.html.  What's 
the usage of these basis vectors?
