This is why I specified that I work with phonopy. Phonopy, (if you don't already know) requires all generated structures to be of P symmetry. To be honest, this is not always possible since I cannot override Wien2K algorith, which detects possible symmetries (initialization runs in batch mode,

While there is some rationale to changing the angles to 90, this is in general not appropriate. Rather than doing this I suggest working through the examples in the Wien2k documentation. There are also examples in the Lecture notes on the web page. This will teach you a lot. On Thu, Apr 23, 2015

The simplest perivskite is a=b=c alpha=beta=gamma=90 A: 1/2,1/2,1/2 B: 0,0,0 O: 1/2,0,0 0,1/2,0 0,0,1/2 space group 221 so, if you have alpha=89.999 you can adjust to 90. Now, if you have alpha=89.9 you can adjust to 90 for learning purposes, the calculation will be quite fast, but the

[Wien] How we calculate formation energy for a system

Dear All, i am using FP-LAPW calculation using WIEN2k for a Heusler system Fe2-xCoMnAl. i want to calculate the formation energy for the phase stability of system and find out which site it prefers Mn/Fe/Al site when Co atom is added. formation energy = total energy of Fe2-xCoMnAl -total energy

Negative atomic position just means that someone did not properly reduce them. Just add 1.0, or use them as is, they should be corrected by the code to their conventional forms. ___ Professor Laurence Marks Department of Materials Science and Engineering Northwestern

John 1) If you need to use P1 symmetry try a extremely small displacement of your atoms to force the reduction of symmetry you need. 2) Notice that symmetry is used by the codes to reduce the computational effort. The other route is better if you hace time, experience and the capacity to
