Madhusmita,

Regarding the first question, I am not clear what the problem is. I grabbed the crystal data for anatase from Matt's website:

   http://cars9.uchicago.edu/atomsdb/TiO2-ana.inp

and imported it into Artemis. I certainly don't know what the interatomic distances for anatase should be off the top of my head, but what Atoms produced from that input data certainly seems reasonable. If you think there is a problem, you are going to need to explain it in a way that I can reproduce easily on my own computer.

Regarding the second question, the vector specified in the box labeled "Shift vector" will be added to each site *before* any calculation is made.

Dear Members,

I would like to know,

*Q1)* If there is a screw axis in the system, like the anatase phase of
TiO2, whose space group is I41/amd, how should I  enter that in the
atoms for feff calculation. Kindly tell me which  is the correct way.

When I entered 141(the space group number) and I41/amd, both generated
separate set of atomic positions.

  The older version of artemis, now the new one(latest version), both
generates different set of atomic position with the same
crystallographic input, i.e if I enter 141(or I41/amd) in place of space
group and run atoms, it generates two different set of co-ordinates in
Artemis 0.8.012 and in Demeter 0.9.18. Ideally this should be same.

*Q2)* And when co-ordinates is shifted by certain amount, do we have to
  enter that in the shift vector as well as while defining the (x y z)
  of a particular site. Or I should just enter the shift vector and
  define the co-ordinates at its usual position ( I feel this one is
correct).

  For example in anatase crystal structure  the co-ordinates are shifted
  by (0,0.25,-0.125).

So, the inputs can be

For shift vector 0,0.25,-0.125 and in place of sites Ti(core) x=0, y=0,
z= 0 and O (scatterer) x= 0, y=0, z=0.20806

(Or) shift vector 0,0,0 and in place of sites Ti(core) x=0, y=0.25, z=
-0.125 and O (scatterer)  x= 0, y=0.25, z=0.08160 Ideally

both should  give the same result. But it gives different set of atomic
positions.

Even the same input in different version of artemis is yielding
  different results(in Artemis 0.8.012 and in Demeter 0.9.18) .

    I am confused about  how atoms work in artemis. I request you to
elucidate the correct method.

Warm wishes
