In general, just to remove one atom in such a small supercell will give not realy good results<br>
As it would lead to artificial symmetry, therfore, use better larger supercells and remove several atoms<br>
from different sites and finally average over various different configurations<br>

Maybe ATAT helps.<br>

No, this is not correct; if you want to make NbSe2.4 then you make a supercell that has 3 formula units, that would be Nb3Se9, then you remove one Se to have Nb3Se8=NbSe2.4<br>
<br>
>From the above, you can see that to make NbSe2.6 is not as easy as NbSe2.4<br>
<br>
But if you change the number of electrons then you are not removing atoms<br>
<br>
If you want to make an "intermediate" element, for example, something between Mg and Al in MgB2 then you can add electrons to Mg in the struct file and in the *.in2 file, then you would have (Mg,Al)B2, this is the "virtual crystal approximation"<br>
<br>
This virtual crystal approximation has been used to explain the experimental results for the Al and C doping of MgB2; (Mg,Al)B2 and Mg(B,C)2<br>

<br>
Dear Wien2k users,<br>
I want to change NbSe3 to NbSe2.6 in Wien2k by creating supercell of NbSe3. I have read about how to add or remove electrons in .in2 file. How will I decide that this number of electrons should be removed so that I could get NbSe2.6.
Thanking you in advance<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

Mandeep Kumar Hooda<br>
