Dear QE forum!

I would like to ask a question regarding the modeling of a hybrid semiconductor structure that combines two materials with crystal lattices having different values for the parameter ibrav=2 and ibrav=12. To describe this structure, the parameters ibrav=0 and nosym=.true. were chosen, and the values of the remaining input parameters are presented in the appendix, in the file diam.scf.in. The coordinates of all atoms were selected using the XCrySden program.

When running the diam.scf.in file in QE 7.4.1, I receive the error message:

Error in routine check_atoms (1): atoms # 1 and # 2 differ by lattice vector (-1, -1, 0) in crystal axis

When attempting to continue the modeling after removing atom number 2 from the list, the program again returns a similar error, but this time between the first and third atoms specified in the ATOMIC_POSITIONS alat.

I'd like to ask: is there any way to avoid this error while maintaining the original number of atoms at 24?

Best regards,
