Hi Giovanni and Quantum Espresso friends,
Thank you for your response. It is very much appreciated.
You are right, by specifying the unit cell in the following
way, the warning message disappeared.
<snip>
...
ibrav = 8
celldm(1) = 10.6279
celldm(2) = 1.5
celldm(3) = 4.5961940777125589086
…
</snip>
Though, I specified the cell dimensions in Bohr units, but this is
just a detail for this communication.
As bonus, I can now find the following in the output:
<snip>
...
point group C_i (-1)
there are 2 classes
the character table:
E i
A_g 1.00 1.00
A_u 1.00 -1.00
the symmetry operations in each class and the name of the first element:
E 1
identity
i 2
inversion
…
</snip>
I wonder whether this is compatible to the following output, obtained in the
old fashioned way.
<snip>
...
Found symmetry operation: I + ( -0.5000 0.0000 -0.0000)
This is a supercell, fractional translations are disabled
Message from routine find_sym:
Not a group! Trying with lower acceptance parameter...
Message from routine find_sym:
Symmetry operations form a group
…
</snip>
The last line says: "Symmetry operations form a group”.
Great, which group is it?
Met vriendelijke groeten,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
With kind regards,
