Dear All,
I am looking at using Artemis (“Theory”; ”New Atoms page”) to create FEFF input files for Gd and Gd2O3. I believe I have got the Gd parameters right:
Space group 194
a=b=3.636,c=5.7826
alpha=beta=90,gamma=120
Gd: X=Y=Z=0
And it does give me reasonable paths in the end to work with (see below FEFF.inp file)
The Gd2O3 is trickier (space group 206, a=b=c=10.8(?), alpha=beta=gamma=0):
How do I determine the X,Y,Z coordinates for the relevant atoms?
Regards,
Bernt
