Dear Uttam Paliwal,

Another approach would be to use simple geometry and to create the cell by hand. This also helps to understand structures instead of using some program - which I can only recommend to do once you need to create more complex structures or have more complicated materials.

Regards

Thomas

This would be a very easy task if you used Virtual NanoLab for manipulating atomistic structures and setting up your QE input files:

Hi
How to construct and imply a 2x2x2 supercell for ibrav=2 i.e. cubic fcc lattice of rock-salt NaCl type structure having space group 225. also suggest how to get atomic position for it. My single unit cell input file is as

                restart_mode = 'from_scratch' ,

                      prefix = 'ppppp' ,

                       ibrav = 2,

                         nat = 2,
