Dear Lyudmila, Thank you for your e-mail with kind explanation. Sorry for having forgotten to answer earlier but it seems that the task is going well now on the belief that the first guess on simulation direction is right by your supporting advice , and with the tips you provided. We made a large supercell first and then put one of two atoms forcefully and manually, which looks a possible solution for now. So far so good. :-) I'll keep the number of parameters in mind so that they are not making too heavy loads on the simulation computer. Thank you so much and good luck with your works!

Yes, this is a right way. With large supercells you should check, with a higher attention, a convergence of the calculation over calculational parameters (Rkmax, N k-points), over the values you want to study. Making calc parameters higher increases calculational time, so you should find a compromise between accuracy and the time. Best way is, first, to make a calcuation with lower parameters, then to increase them, and so forth. The accuracy, that you need to chose, depends strongly on your task. There is a huge set of papers made under WIEN2k http://www.wien2k.at/papers/index.html You can find there studies that may be compared with your task.
