[Pw_forum] Graphene_fixed calculation

[siddheshwar chopra]

Dear Toshiharu,
I just read your input file for Graphene. It mentions only UNIT CELL atom
coordinates and dimensions.  But how do you expand it to a large monolayer
film. I hope I am able to explain my question well. You have to repeat
these two coordinates. How do we do this in PWGUI or the i/p file?

Regards,
