Hi guys
Thanks a lot for your help. I haven't replied before because I was trying to implement your suggestions, but I'm having problems with the server and I haven't been able to work with WIEN2k. I hope next week we could solve this problem, I'll be back to this issue once the program becomes available.
John,
I did changed the Z and the Te atom and I'm still having the same problem. I sent you a couple of emails to your account last week with the information about the article. I hope you have checked it, I've been expecting your response. Please let me know if you could also help me solve the problem with the server, these days the server has been working intermittently.
Thanks again to all of you for your suggestions I'll keep you posted.
Cheers
Israel Pérez

Your warnings are completely natural. The initial set of equivalent
atoms will be broken by defects introduced. My suggestion will be
(1) run "x nn" and accept the structure file it proposes instead of the
original one, then
(2) run "x sgroup" and accept the structure file in case there will be a
warning like you have had [warning: !!! Struct file is not consistent
with space group found.]
(3) try to avoid labeling the atoms (Se1, Se2) unless you would like to
reduce the symmetry on purpose.
(4) There is likely more than one possible arrangements for the pair of
impurities in your structure. I would recommend to optimize forces for
several alternatives, compare total energies and decide which
configuration is likely to form in an alloy.
