Equilibrium supercell is a unit cubical box. so if its 2*2*2 cell
parameters, don't we need to multiply celldm by 2?

It depends on the way you specify the cell, i.e.:

1. you can multiply the celldm(1) by a factor of two, but then specify CELL_PARAMETERS as:

CELL_PARAMETERS (alat)
  1.0 0.0 0.0
  0.0 1.0 0.0
  0.0 0.0 1.0

Note that in this case it is preferable to set ibrav=1 (i.e. simple-cubic) and avoid CELL_PARAMETERS.

2. You can leave celldm(1) as it is, but then specify:

CELL_PARAMETERS (alat)
  2.0 0.0 0.0
  0.0 2.0 0.0
  0.0 0.0 2.0

Dear Pooja,

you should first change the line

"CELL_PARAMETERS (angstrom)"

to

"CELL_PARAMETERS (alat)"
