Dear Xavier, I read your email from yesterday, but I thought that his struct file was correct, because I got the same struct file from this cif file:
http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/download.php?id=13353.cif&down=cif But you are right; if I visualize it, I can see that it is not beta-Sn. Besides, I can not convert cif to struct other cif files like the one that you sent. With cif2struct, I get "unknown space group name: I41/amds" and no struct file is generated. Did cif2struct work for you? ________________________________ From: Wien <wien-boun...@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at> on behalf of Xavier Rocquefelte <xavier.rocquefe...@univ-rennes1.fr> Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2020 11:54 PM To: wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at Subject: Re: [Wien] Structure optimization of Beta -Sn Dear Fabien, I explained to Shamik that the structure he was using was not correct.
