<div dir="ltr">Dear Tomas and Fecher<div>Thank you very much. It is working perfect with lattice type F and symmetry operations equal to 16. But one thing is confusing me that I applied 5 % strain to bulk Si and still it is semiconductor with gap 0.2eV. Is it correct? as 5 % is too much strain and bulk materials tolerate very low strain. In my thinking it should break.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 5:14 PM, Fecher, Gerhard <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fecher@uni-mainz.de" target="_blank">fecher@uni-mainz.de</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">but your structure becomes tetragonal<br>

I am sorry having no idea about it. Simply I used optimized structure and increased a by a0*1.001 and decreased b & c by keeping lattice type F. Then run init_lapw -b.<br>

you applied a tetragonal distortion along x<br>
but how did you manage that you still have 48 symmetry operations ?<br>

Dear All<br>
I got Si structure from wien2k examples and after optimization it is<br>

<br>
mBJLDA gives band gap of 1.19 eV (perfect).<br>
<br>
Now I apply strain (0.1 %) and structure is<br>

This time band structure (attached herewith) is very different and Si is metal.<br>
Kindly guide me whether I am apply strain in right way or not? Band Structure is<br>
