Contd- Crystallographic input for a structure having screw axis and
co-ordinates shifted by certain amount
Dear sir,
 herewith I am attaching two input files. The first one  with the name
wyckoff .inp generates The first co-ordination sphere at 1.9465 angstrom
with degenracy of 6.
According to crystal structure data anatase structure should have 4 oxygens
at 1.9339 angstrom and 2 oxygens at 1.9796 angstrom.
So, I tried with the crystal input from the latest PDF-4+2013
database(attaching the PDF as word file for your ref.
That (  inp file - attached)eventually generates the required co-ordination
sphere with 4 oxygen at 1.3964( as against the XRD data of 1.9339) and 2
oxygen at 1.8925(aginst the XRD data from PDf-4+2013 of 1.9796 angstrom)

Regards
Madhusmita Sahoo,
