The z-axis positions are not the same.  Also, (1/3,2/3,z) is equivalent to 
(-2/3,-1/3,z), not (2/3,1/3,z).  SG 164 (P-3m1), according to
http://www.cryst.ehu.es/cgi-bin/cryst/programs/nph-wp-list, doesn't have 
(x,y,z) equivalent to (-x,-y,z).  It's equivalent to (-x,-y,-z) and to (y,x,-z).

Sincerely,

Dear Rodolfo, effectively atoms 2 and 3 have the same x and y positions. In 
crystal_sg units, atomic positions are from 0 to 1 (by periodicity). For 
example:  0.33333333 = 1 - 0.3333333 = 0.66666666
So, (x,y) atomic position of the Mn and Bi are the same.

    Dear QE users,

    I'm trying to do a scf calculation with the following parameters:

    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
    space_group = 164,
         A = 4.63600,
         B = 4.63600,
         C = 7.6350,
         cosAB = -0.5,
         cosAC = 0,
         cosBC = 0,

    ATOMIC_POSITIONS {crystal_sg}
    Ca 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
    Mn 0.333333 0.666667 0.6192
    Bi 0.666667 0.333333 0.753710
    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

    and I got the error:

    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
    task #         0
          from check_atoms : error #         1
          atoms #   2 and #   3 overlap!
    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

    The problem is that the atomic positions are the ones that I got from a 
Rietveld refinement and when I tried to visualize with xCrysden there weren't 
errors. Could anyone help me?

    Thank you for your support.

    Best,

    Rodolfo
