To all respected siesta users, Thank you very much for helping me. I have used the usual way (not supercell) for hexagonal system of mine, using the method mostly discussed here in mailing list. In the .out file of variable cell, I have "Naive supercell factors: 885". The result I

Dear Catrina, Mind that you have periodical boundary conditions so your unit cell is repeated infinite number of times in all directions. So, you only need to construct a supercell if you want to break the symmetry (i.e. introduce defects). Or if you want to imitate zero boundary conditions (i.e. f

Dear Catrina To perform a bilk calculation you will need a "supercell" anyway... eventhough it is a 1x1x1 supercell for pure bulk phases or bigger ones for other porpouses. Apart of that the parameters u gave in your mail dosent help that much to help you. The cell parameters for

Dear Andrei Postnikov, I am sorry if my words were confusing. Actually, it is not the matter of imitating at all. I just wanted to know if having supercell for some systems like bulk hexagonal helps to get better answers. I didn't enclose their article to keep it from judgements, but in a present

To all respected siesta users: Considering an article on a hexagonal lattice, written by authors who have worked with siesta, I have encountered that they have used 6x6x2 supercell for their "bulk" system !!! I need to know how they have done it to generate the appropriate supercell for better op
