I am new to PWscf and working on bismuth titanate. I have made the following input file and visualized the structure in xcrysden. But it is not the same as given in M.-Q. Cai et al  Chemical Physics Letters 399 (2004) 89-93 though I have used the same coordinates as that given in the above paper. Please help or give some suggestions.
