Dear Abiniters,
I have been trying to make positron lifetime calculations in II-VI semiconductors which have a cubic diamond/zincblend structure. I haven't have any problem until I tried to make a 2x2x2 supercell calculus. The problem appeared in the least expected way:
Code: Select all
symfind : ERROR -
The number of symmetries (including non-symmorphic
translations) is larger than msym= 384
Action : take a cell that is primitive, or at least
smaller than the present one.
I simply do not understand why simmetry finder produces this error. I leave attached the input file used.

I have to point out that I decided to list all atoms of the unit cell (instead of the ones of the primitive cell) so to in a near future simulate vacancies or other defects
