Re: non-primitive unit cell

Hi, Yes, I understand that the absolute value of energy is not important. However, this is my concern. If one compares the two input files all the parameters are same except for natom, typat, xred and rprim. I run the two simulations with the same pseudo potential. So, i expected that the energies s...

non-primitive unit cell

Hi, I am trying to optimize the lattice parameters for lithum (BCC). I did it in two ways: 1. using a primitive unit cell (1 atom at 0,0,0 with rprim =(-0.5 0.5 0.5, 0.5 -0.5 0.5, 0.5 0.5 -0.5)) and 2. using a non-primitive unit-cell (2 atoms at 0,0,0 and 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 with rprim =(1 0 0, 0 1 0, 0 0...
