quaternary zinc blend compound

Post by new_986 » Thu Feb 22, 2018 9:32 am

Hello everybody
I am trying to do DFT calculations to a quaternary zinc blend compound using abinit, I have gave 4 atoms to the input file, one atom of each kind with coordinates
xangst
0.0 0.0 0.0
0.00000 2.82685 2.82685
2.82685 2.82685 0.00000
1.41342 1.41342 1.41342
but I am getting wrong result!
can you please help me and see if the coordinates are correct or wrong?
best regards

Dear Nawzad,
If the structure you want is the regular ZnS one then it should contains 8 atoms, right?
You should also give the acell, angdeg/rprim, znucl, typat, ntypat that define the structure if you want we detect a problem in the structure construction.
Best wishes,
Eric
