Dear Sir, Every space group has some ideal positions. From little experience in the past, I believe on selecting 3 atoms in the start of structure generation and assigning positions for three atoms will give the primitive cell for this space group. In this primitive cell other positions appear aut

Thank You All. I benefited from all of you on mailing list. You are absolutely right I should learn instead of spoon feeding. I can understand fully that experts are already handling the burden of below average questions. Inspite of all your recommendation I wish that someone should suggest a roa

Hello Naseem, The problem you have is a lack of information. The spacegroup and stoichiometry still give you freedom through wyckoff positions to create a variety of structures. There are multiple avenues you can take. The first is to search the literature and databases (COD: http://www.crys

Hello Naseem, Maybe there is a misunderstanding here. The point is NOT that people don't want to help you on that topic; the point is that they just CANNOT do it. The starting point of doing electronic structure calculation is the knowledge of ALL the crystallographic data on the system. That
