When I create an input file for PWSCF and view it in XCrysDen, it only
shows two atoms (attached as figure1xsf.png), whereas if I create the
structure file using Materials Studio or VESTA, I see 6 atoms (attached as
figure2vesta.jpeg).
Is my structure correct or am I not understanding the symmetry correctly or
is there a problem with XCrysDen.
The relevant part of the PWSCF input file:
&SYSTEM
ibrav = 9,
celldm(1) = 5.392713591,
celldm(2) = 2.0568034482,
celldm(3) = 1.736272208,
nat = 1,
ntyp = 1,
ecutwfc = 35,
ecutrho = 280,
occupations = 'smearing',
smearing = 'mp',
degauss = 0.02,
/
&ELECTRONS
conv_thr = 1.D-7,
mixing_beta = 0.7D0,
/
&IONS
/
ATOMIC_SPECIES
U 1.00 U.pbe-nd-rrkjus.UPF
ATOMIC_POSITIONS {crystal}
U 0.000 0.10239 0.25
K_POINTS {automatic}
1 1 1 0 0 0
Sorry if this is trivial but I could not get it correctly no matter what
all options I tried.
