[Wien] structure file

It is just because your structure is wrong,
your cif File contains non integer site ocuupancies (overall 6 Si atoms and 14.1 Li atoms in the cell)
Wien needs always integer site occupancies (see many questions about that fact in the mailing list) ,
so how do you think that the 14.1 Li atoms are distributed with integer occupancies on the lattice that Wien2k uses ?
You should see from your struct file that you have 21 atoms in the cell.

Why do you like to calculate Li2.5Si = Li5Si2 from a cif file for Li2.35 Si1 = Li47Si20

Ciao

is that you have never actually known what the question is."

Betreff: [Wien] structure file

Dear wien2k users:
           When I do wien2k calculation of Li2.5Si. The generated stucture is
           very strange. The Rmt of Li and Si is only 0.85 and 0.26,
           respectively.  There should be some problems. The cif file and the
           structure file are attached.   Thanks in advance for your help.
Best,
Jinjun
