Dear Pablo you are wrong
Below you find that Murugan uses for the AFM set up

Dy 1 (000) and Dy2 (0.5,0.5,0.5 )
Pd(0.25,0.25,0.25) Bi (0.75,0.75,0.75) .

put it in space group 216 and use XCrysden to see the result, it is NOT DyPdSb
try what happens if you don't name Dy 1 and 2 but leave it open in the 
structure generator
I think the symmetry will be changed to F m-3m (225) instead of  F -43m (216).

For an so called half-Heusler structure you will find different types of AFM 
order that are described in different space groups (or say better that result 
in diferent symmetries)
fort example if Nd is the atom where the magnetic moments couple 
antiferromagnetically than you may have
AFM-I   ==> P -4m2 (113)
AFM-II  ==>  R 3m (160)
AFM-III ==> I -42d (122)

Now, before asking what is the correct structure, one needs to think about what 
one likes to do.

Gerhard,
No, Murugan is right, it is DyPdBi
Although I found in the structure base "find it"
a=b=c=6.643
Dy: 0,0,0
Pd: 3/4,3/4,3/4
Bi: 1/2,1/2,1/2 and Murugan has 1/4,1/4,1/4
In terms of frustration this difference does not make a difference, since Bi is 
magnetically "neutral".
        Saludos

                    Pablo

No. its wrong
now you have Dy2PdBi instead of DyPdBi

you need to make a suitable supercell, or use a P instead of a F cell and 
distinguish the Dy atoms in a suitable way such that you can set spins of 
opposite direction
you also will need LDA+U, otherwise the Nd 4f states will appear at the Fermi 
energy

A description of different types of AFM order in Heusler compounds are given in 
the Landolt Börnstein (I don't remember the issue)

Betreff: [Wien] Position of Atoms in AFM calculation.

Dear wien 2k users
 I am working on the compound DyPdBi. this compound is anti ferromagnetic upto 
3.5K(experimental report). crystal structure is MgAgAs  (216) .Dy (0,0,0),
Pd (0.75,0.75,0.75) and Bi(0.25,0.25,0.25)
I performed PBEsol calculation  for above mentioned positions without 
considering AFM.  I plotted band and DOS.
 Now i want to do AFM calculation again. I followed the steps given ,before 
trying with new compound i did for Cr, NiO.
 In my structure file   for AFM calculation the position of each compound is as 
follows
Dy 1 (000) and Dy2 (0.5,0.5,0.5 )
Pd(0.25,0.25,0.25) Bi (0.75,0.75,0.75) . Am i correct . i am not sure of the 
positions.
some one please confirm or correct me.
Thanks in advance.
