I did this rather quickly. So you will have to double check if it looks
correct or not.
It looks like both your lattice parameters and atomic positions are in
the R-3 hexagonal setting. So enter in SETSTRU [
http://www.cryst.ehu.es/cryst/setstru.html ]:
# Comments start with #
# Space Group ITA number
148
# Lattice parameters

Te 1 - 0.00367 0.36633 0.08513
Ge 2 - 0 0 0.059
Cr 3 - 0 0 0.3302
Click Transform Structure
Select R-3: h for initial and R-3:r for Final. Then, SETSTRU should
output the rhombohedral settings:
Final Setting: R-3:r (148)148 #R-3:r
7.9066 7.9066 7.9066 51.16 51.16 51.16
3
Te 1 - 0.088800 0.447790 -0.281200
Ge 2 - 0.059000 0.059000 0.059000
Cr 3 - 0.330200 0.330200 0.330200
In StructGen, select 148_R-3 for the spacegroup.
Enter the "hexagonal" for the lattice parameters:
a = 6.8275 ang, b = 6.8275 ang, c = 20.5619 ang, alpha = 90 deg, beta =
90 deg, gamma = 120 deg
For the atomic positions, enter the inequivalent "rhombohedral" positions:
Te 0.088800 0.447790 -0.281200
Ge 0.059000 0.059000 0.059000
Cr 0.330200 0.330200 0.330200
After you save the structure and come back and view in StructGen again,
take note of the StructGen message under Inequivalent Atoms:
"positions must be specified in rhombohedral coordinates"
See if the structure looks okay now (for example in XCrySDen or VESTA).

Dear Wien2k users,
I am trying to build the struct file of Cr2Ge2Te6 crystal from space
group and atomic position using w2web.
I have obtained the information about this crystal from springer database
http://materials.springer.com/isp/crystallographic/docs/sd_1622000
Space group: 148 (R-3 h)
Lattice constants a, b, c: 0.68275 (nm), 0.68275 (nm), 2.05619 (nm)
Angle alpha, beta, gamma: 90, 90, 120
atom Wychoff x y z
Te 18f 0.00367 0.36633 0.08513
Ge 6c 0 0 0.059
Cr 6c 0 0 0.3302
But if I use the coordinates of each of these three atoms and space
group in w2web, I don't get the correct crystal structure.
Although I have managed to get the structure from other online sources
but I am wondering if anyone can tell me how can
I use these info to generate the structure usingw2web.
Thanks,
Fhokrul
