<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks Dr. Blaha, <br></div><div> One more doubt. Doping in 333SC in present work resulted break in multiplicity of a doped site from single site (m=4) in undoped SC to two sites (each with m=2) in doped SC. I was expecting same EFGs at two sites (assuming same local chemical environment) as they are generated due to break in multiplicity of single site (should have same chemical environment). But obtained different EFGs. Please enlighten me. <br></div><div> </div><div> Should i replace one out of the two sites by original atom so that only one doped site remains in the system. Can calculation be performed without mentioning space group. <br></div><div> <br></div><div>Thanking you,</div><div>A.

<br>
You have to distinguish between a lattice (which describes the <br>
periodicity) and a spacegroup (which includes possible point symmetry <br>
operations like rotations,...)<br>
<br>
If you put atoms randomly into a cubic box, the lattice is still cubic, <br>
but the spacegroup will be P1.<br>
