Hello Wien2k users,
Consider a solid solution of KCl-CeCl3 system. KCl is fcc (Fm3m_225) whereas
CeCl3 is hexagonal (P63/m_176). In CeCl3, Ce occupies (1/3,2/3,1/4) and Cl
occupies (0.3866, 0.085,1/4). In KCl, K occupies (0,0,0) and Cl occupies
(1/2,1/2,1/2).
Now, we envisage a solid solution of KCl-CeCl3 with x(KCl)=0.75, how can we
make a supercell of this system for this composition. What should be the
starting point for generating such supercells, in general where the cations
have different valencies.
I thought of the following
1. Generate a P lattice with the lattice parameters of either KCl or
CeCl3.
2. Put Cl at (1/2,1/2,1/2) and (0.3866,0.085,1/4)
3. Put K at (0,0,0) and Ce at (1/3,2/3,1/4)
4. Generate a 64-atom supercell
5. Change the composition based on requirements by either replacing K
by Ce and/or Ce by K.
6. Go ahead with Wien2k init_lapw, min_lapw .
Is the procedure ok?
Thanks
