Dear Dr.Gerhard
Thanks for your quick answer. According to you, I should start with P1 cell,
which could also obtained by splitting the atomic positions of Fe-atoms
of this pm(6) space group (12 atoms). Further, In your mail, I have
seen the statement
*"For Phonon calculations one would need the P 1 cell,
otherwise one moves (in certain cases) 2 or more atoms at once out of there
equilibrium positions (here Fe atoms)"*
Can please, elaborate it (why one needs P1 cell as starting structure
(before doing supercell))
for phonon calculations...why the atoms go out of their equilibrium
positions, if i start with other than P1 symmetry.
Thanking you and looking forward to your answers
Sincerely,
Ch. Venkatesh
