[Pw_forum] making a supercell

[Lars Matthes]

Hello,

with xcrysden you can also save the supercell as .xsf structure (File > Save
XSF structure).
Within the saved file you can find the positions of all atoms (I found them
below the line
'BRILLOUIN-ZONE-CONVCELL_END'). The first column includes the number of the
element
and, therefore, needs some modification before you can use it in QE. But
much easier than
what you did up to now, isn't it?!

Ciao
Lars
