[Wien] TETRA for 2D system

Thank you Sir,
Yes, I found the bulk structure on the MP website. The author
manipulated the atomic positions and then created a monolayer. So the
information about exact bulk structure  is missing.
I am using case.grr from the structure taken from MP website.

Thank you very much

Fatima
