At a guess, I would say the atom list in the cif file is not suitable:
Mg   0.00000   0.00000   0.00000   0.66667
Al   0.00000   0.00000   0.00000   0.33333
O1   0.00000   0.00000   0.37710   1.00000
H1   0.00000   0.00000   0.41440   1.00000
C   0.00000   0.00000   0.16700   0.08333
O2   0.09200  -0.09200   0.50000   0.08333
Wat   0.09200  -0.09200   0.50000   0.08333
Wat is not a recognized element and occupies the same position as O2.
Partial occupancies are also not supported in atoms.

If I change occupancies to 1.00000, and delete the Mg and Wat lines, the file reads in to
and runs in atoms without issue. One would then have to manually modify the feff input to
have the partial occupancies.

-R.

Dear all,

I'm trying to run feff on the Hydrotalcite cif file as can be found in the Larch Am Min CIF browser and I get the following error:

At line 125 of file ff2chi.f (unit = 1, file = 'list.dat')
Fortran runtime error: Bad real number in item 2 of list input

I've been able to gather that this means there is some unreadable input in the file that is been used, but I don't know what file this is so I don't know what the actual bad input is and what has caused it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
