Hello,

here is an example of structure file for GaAs. It has a zinc-blende structure with 2-atom primitive cell or 8-atom conventional cell. The key is to label atoms (Ga1, Ga2, etc.) in order to avoid their recognition as equivalent spices.

Please note that such a structure will have lower symmetry (in this case just translational symmetry), which will significantly decrease the computational performance. It is therefore not advised to do it without a special need.

Dear wien2k experts:

    I am wondering if it is possible for wien2k to run with conventional
cell instead of primitive cell?  If it is, could anyone figure out to me
how this is realized in practice.

thanks,
Gang
