Dear Stefan Cottenier Sir,<div><br></div><div> I have another question regarding optimization of a,b,c (3D case) using "option 6". We can generate several structures by varying say 1% of the initial lattice parameters. Then my question is</div>
<div><br></div><div>(1) how those 3 lattice parameters are varied to generate structures?</div><div>say, two successive files case_abc_10 & case_abc_9....what will be the correlation of lattice parameters of this two file? </div>
<div><br></div><div>(2) Is this 3D case is a better option for orthorhombic lattice than variation of volume, c/a and then b/a successively?</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to your response. Thanks in advance.</div>

I have a query regarding volume optimization in wien2k. "Option 1"<br>
optimizes the volume by keeping a:b:c = constant. Now my question is:<br>
<br>
in which case this "Option 1" is applicable?...is it only applicable for<br>
cubic symmetry?<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
You can use it for any crystal. Very often, the total energy will depends much more on the volume than on the c/a- or b/a-ratio.<br>
<br>
The difference between cubic and other crystals is that for a cubic crystal it is meaningless to vary anything else than the volume.<br>
<br>
Similarly, for a tetragonal crystal you can change the volume and c/a, but not b/a. For an orthorombic crystal can change volume, c/a, b/a. Etc.<br>
