Subject: help... taking care of all symmetry operations
Hi,
I want to know, how all the symmetry operations for my systems
can be taken care of, through PWSCF?
I'm sending the following warning part,
""
input
warning: symmetry operation # 7 not allowed. fractionary
translation:
0.0000000 0.0000000 0.3333333 in crystal coordinates
warning: symmetry operation # 8 not allowed. fractionary
translation:
0.0000000 0.0000000 -0.3333333 in crystal coordinates

But in our system, in a unit cell, three atoms are in
three different levels, 0, 1/3 & 2/3. So, this must be taken care of
to get relaxed reduced co-ordinates.
For example, starting at some lattice constant value,
with reduced co-ordinate,
2.16500000000E-01 0.0000000000E+00 -1.8503717077E-17 1
-2.16500000000E-01 -2.16500000000E-01 3.3333333333E-01 1
0.0000000000E+00 2.16500000000E-01 6.6666666667E-01 1
final reduced co-ordinates, we got as,
0.208561119 0.000000000 0.000000000 1
-0.206588002 -0.204614884 0.336091984 1
-0.001973118 0.204614884 0.663908016 1
The values, 0.2085, 0.2065, 0.2046 are all expected to be same atleast
upto 4th deecimal places. I believe this discripency is because, all
symmetry operations are not taken care of. So, how can we get rid of that
in PWSCF??? By which input parameter?
Best regards, Mousumi.
