Hi, FCC Cu has one atom in the primitive unit cell (the smallest possible unit cell), but four in the conventional unit cell. The primitive cell is rhombohedral. The conventional cell is cubic. If you have xcrysden, then press F3 and F4 to switch between the primitive and conventional cells. F.

Hello Madhav, The thickness of the slab will vary depending on the interplanar distance for that surface. Usually you can do this more accurately by using an expression based on the bulk lattice constants. For instance: bulk = loadstruct(...) surface = makesurface(bulk,1,bulk.a(3)/2,20.0) wh

It is up to you, how "thick" (how many layers) you want to make your slab. The thicker the better, but soon you will run out of computer power. PS: For a (001) surface the programx supercell is probably easier to use. There you would be asked for the number of cells along x,y,z and with
