[Wien] Crystal symmetry and k-mesh

2013-06-14 Thread pascal boulet

Dear all,

I have a question about the symmetry in crystals. We have done 
calculations on a supercell in which we substituted an impurity atom for 
a pristine atom. The symmetry of crystal is P1 (identity only) according 
to Wien2k.


We used a k-points grid 18x9x5 (=810 k-points) but the number of 
k-points used during SCF is 405. Is there an additional symmetry element 
that accounts for this reduction (e.g. time inversion)?


Thank you for your answer.
Regards,
Pascal

Yes, this is because of time inversion.
