Hello
i have done this job to calculate ground state of bifeo3.it runs but i have wrong space group.bifeo3 is rhombohedral with R3c space group but there is space group 1(p1)in my out file,please help me.what i have to do?is there any input variable to write space group in input file?
input file:
nsppol 2
nspden 2
nspinor 1
spinat 0 0 1

thankyou.please answer me.

Hello Mina,

angdeg 3*60 for spacegroup R3c? I would say 60 60 120 - rhombohedral space groups can be confusing.
Download http://www.crystallography.net/cif/1/1001090.cif. Specify spacegroup R3c with a spgroup 161 and angdeg as above. Look at the end of the downloaded cif file for the 3 atoms reduced coordinates in the unit cell (columns 5 to 7) and specify them with an xred matrix instead of your xangst matrix.

Kind regards,

Alain
