Dear sir,
Thank you for drawing this origin shift to my attention. Regarding the
First query, I have compared both two method viz. Vol > b/a > c/a and 3-D
variation. I have found the following results :
A) Taking 27 structure variation with 1% change (3D variation option)-
     TiNi_without_vol optimization :
      a=7.804420 bohr ;   4.129921208 Ang
      b=5.365367 bohr ;    2.839229944 Ang
      c=8.727774 bohr ;    4.6185391018 Ang

     TiNi_after_vol optimization :
    a = 7.884109 bohr ;     4.172090810 Ang
    b = 5.294220 bohr ;    2.801580573 Ang
    c = 8.839241 bohr;     4.677524898 Ang

B) With Vol > b/a > c/a optimization :
     Value of A is =      8.16927 bohr  ;    4.32299 Ang
     Value of B is =      5.13974 bohr  ;    2.71984 Ang
     Value of C is =      8.77242 bohr  ;    4.64217 Ang

1. Which one should  be taken as optimized parameters?
2. How much this parameter difference affects  EFG calculation i.e.
sensitivity of EGF calculation??
