Dear wien users
I am trying to study SmCo4B which crystallizes in
the CeCoB type. It has
two Sm atoms at (0,0,0) and (0,0,1/2) : eight Co
atoms at
(1/3,2/3,0) ,(1/2,0,0.287) and two B atoms at
(1/3,2/3,1/2) lattice
parameters a=9.46 A and c= 12.97 A space group
191P6/mmm.
I would like to calculate anisotropy energy so I
have to do spin orbit calculation with magnetization
along (001) and (100) directions
My questions are
1- Why the number of inequivalent atoms when
magnetization in
001 direction is different than 100 direction.
2- The spin-orbit reduces the number of symmetry
operations
from 24 to 8.when one go from 001 to 100 direction.
In that case do I have new space group? If so Can
wien2k
detect the new possible change in structure and the
new space group.
Thanks all for your kind help and advice
with my best regards and happy new year
