Hello,
In order to clarify: There are several ways to specify the coordinates
to PWSCF/QE:
- In ?ngstr?m
- In Bohr
- In units of lattice constant, 'celldm(1)' in Bohr or 'a' in ?ngstr?m
- In units of lattice vectors
This you can choose on the line containing 'ATOMIC_POSITIONS'. Like
noted above, one can use 'celldm(1:6)', alternatively 'a', 'b' and 'c'
(plus 'cosab', 'cosac', 'cosbc') if you want to use ?ngstr?ms instead.
Please have a look in the documentation, in particular 'INPUT_PW.*', below
the section 'ibrav'. One more to specify the cell vectors is 'ibrav = 0'
and the section 'CELL_PARAMETERS'.
Hopefully this helps.
Greetings,
apsi
