Hi Antonio I have tried the position of C atom, and i have supposed that could be in 8a,whic is an intersticial position, as Frank says, but you have to specify the site occupation, which is related to carbon content. Best wishes. Miguel Hesiquio On Fri, October 31, 2008 8:05 am, Frank Girgsdies

Dear Antonio, as far as I know, austenite is just a solid solution of a few mole-% of carbon in gamma-iron. Thus, you essentially need the structure of gamma-Fe, which is very simple, as it is an fcc metal (space group Fm-3m, a = 3.6468 A, just one Fe atom located on 0,0,0). I found one ICSD entr
