Dear All,
?I am working on BCC NI-Al alloy, which has a CsCl structure with ibrav = 3 and 
atomic position 0 0 0 for Ni atom and? 0.5 0.5 0.5 for Al atom. I am using 
xcrysden to view the structure, I only see Ni atoms and with no Al atom in the 
matrix. Can anybody please tell me where I am going wrong. I have my input file 
below.

?&control
??? calculation='scf'
??? restart_mode='from_scratch',
??? pseudo_dir = '/home/adebambo/espresso-4.2.1/pseudo/',
??? outdir='./'
??? prefix='Ni-Al'
??? tstress = .true.
??? tprnfor = .true.
?/
?&system
??? ibrav = 3, celldm(1) =5.44 nat= 2, ntyp= 2,
??? ecutwfc = 15, ecutrho = 300.0
??? occupations='smearing', smearing='marzari-vanderbilt', degauss=0.05
?/
?&electrons
??? diagonalization='cg'
??? mixing_beta = 0.7
?/
ATOMIC_SPECIES
?Ni 58.69? Ni.pz-nd-rrkjus.UPF
?Al 26.98? Al.pz-vbc.UPF

ATOMIC_POSITIONS
?Ni? 0.00? 0.00? 0.00
?Al? 0.50? 0.50? 0.50
K_POINTS (automatic)
?4 4 4? 0 0 0


Thanks.
