space group 224 & Atoms
Hi, I was trying to simulate Cu2O...cubic...O tetrahedrally coordinated by Cu...Cu linearly coordinated by O. There are two origin choices for space group 224 (Pn-3m). If using origin choice 1, then atom positions would be O 0,0,0 Cu 0.25,0.25,0.25 If using origin choice 2, translate by -0.25,-0.25,-0.25 to get O 0.75,0.75,0.75 Cu 0,0,0 (or use the shift vector in Atoms...) My understanding is that Demeter defaults to the 2nd origin choice. Problem I am having is that neither gives me linearly coordinated copper using current Atoms. If I read in the attached atoms.inp (choice 2) and Run Atoms, the ATOMS list in the Feff output begins with: ATOMS * this list contains 87 atoms * x y z ipot tag distance 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0 cu1 0.00000 -1.06675 1.06675 1.06675 2 o1.1 1.84767 -1.06675 -1.06675 1.06675 2 o1.1 1.84767 1.06675 1.06675 -1.06675 2 o1.1 1.84767 -1.06675 -1.06675 -1.06675 2 o1.1 1.84767 2.13350 2.13350 0.00000 1 cu1.1 3.01722 I get 4-coordinate instead of 2-coordinate. If I try origin choice 1, almost the same result.... ATOMS * this list contains 83 atoms * x y z ipot tag distance 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0 cu1 0.00000 -1.06675 1.06675 1.06675 2 o1.1 1.84767 1.06675 -1.06675 1.06675 2 o1.1 1.84767 1.06675 1.06675 -1.06675 2 o1.1 1.84767 -1.06675 -1.06675 -1.06675 2 o1.1 1.84767 2.13350 2.13350 0.00000 1 cu1.1 3.01722 If I run choice 1 with the shift vector, I do reproduce the choice 2 result. If I use the old dos version of Atoms with origin choice 2, I do get linearly coordinated copper: ATOMS .00000 .00000 .00000 0 cu1 .00000 -1.06675 -1.06675 -1.06675 1 o1 1.84767 1.06675 1.06675 1.06675 1 o1 1.84767 .00000 -2.13350 2.13350 2 cu1 3.01722 SPECS: Demeter 0.9.26 (pre2) Win10x64 AMD64 -R.
