conventional cell to primitive cell

Post by ahd_dz » Wed Oct 15, 2014 2:38 pm

hello
I have a monoclinic conventional cell with atomic positions obtained from a structural database,
and I need to know the primitive cell for that lattice.
is there any code to do that
thank you in advance

Hi

I use phonopy. You create an input file with the conventional cell, and then it gets the primitive unit cell.

It works well.
