<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div><br></div><div> As a follow-up question, taking GaAs as an example, if I actually want to work with an unit cell with the following lattice vectors:</div><div> a1 = a*( 0.5, 0.5, 0.0), </div>

<div class="gmail_extra">what should I do then?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"> This is different from the primitive cell and also only contains the one Ga and As atoms, thus, it is not possible for me to relabel atoms to reduce the symmetry.

<br>
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I want to know. Once a time, I thought to have wien2k to skip the symmetry analysis, however, I encountered some other problem originated from doing so. Your suggestion is much better.<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
