Hello all., I am trying to find elastic constants for Sr2MgSi2O7 sample. From the cif file i have substituted lattice parameters and fractional coordinates, Species, and buckingham potential were taken from ucl website. I am facing flollowing issues -
-
I was getting charge is not neutral error, then i saw in manual and included ‘qok’ command, then error disappered.
-
Yet, I am getting Cell parameter has fallen below allowed limit and elastic constants matrix showing **** values.
-
Herewith I am attaching .cif file (Kindly help which is core and shel in fractional coordiantes)
Thank you all… -
