if you look at the wikipedia page of Ag2O https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_oxide

you see that the structure is actually SC in the sense that Oxygens occupy a BCC lattice while the Ag atoms form an FCC lattice.

in unit of alat the 6 atoms in of Ag2O should be in

ATOMIC_POSITIONS [alat]

O 0.25 0.25 0.25

O 0.75 0.75 0.75

Ag 0.00 0.00 0.00

Ag 0.50 0.50 0.00

Ag 0.00 0.50 0.50

Ag 0.50 0.00 0.50

I guess you want one of the 6 Silver terhahedra sites not occupied by Oxygens

any site with two 0.25 and one 0.75 or two 0.75 and one 0.25 should work. I think they are all equivalent

I want to model Na-Ag2O using Quantum Espresso, therefore I seek assistance in determining the atomic position of the metallic element, sodium(Na), at the Tetrahedral Interstitial Site (TIS) within the bcc structure of Ag2O. Could someone provide guidance on how to accurately position the element at the TIS?
Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
