[Pw_forum] mixed supercells

[Lorenzo Paulatto]

Dear Lorenzo,
you cannot specify different periodicity, you have to build a super-cell,
as big as the 3x3 cell of the first material, or the 2x2 cell of the
second, then you fill it with 9 units of the first material and 4 of the
other. This can be done by hand (the first time it'll take you an hour or
two), or there are some softwares that can help you I have never used one,
as hence I cannot recommend any.
