Dear all,
I am working on rutile TiO2 for my PhD research work. I have gotten my
band gap energy as well as viewing the structure using Xcrysden for this calculation. Then, I decide
to dope TiO2 with Zr using this composition: $Ti_{1-x}Zr_ {x}O_{2}.$ I have
successively gotten my results for the values of x = 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75.
Then, I proceeded to make my x = 1, where I now have ZrO2. But I ran into
trouble because I could not view this structure using xcrysden. please help me to get this
problem solved. I have my input file below:
