But, what is the appropiate “include” for ibrav=12 “c-axis unique?” I’ve been to “BILBOA,” and the Bouchaert-Smoluchowski-Wigner path I want is gamma-a-u-e-z-lambda-gamma for both electrons and phonons. Incidentally, when I was a graduate student, the legend was that the BSW notation was invented by physicists to purposely confuse chemists. So, please tell me how to construct the appropriate “scripts/lines” and “include” files accordingly.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Grazi, Paul Grant<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>IBM Research Staff Member Emeritus<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.w2agz.com" target="_blank">www.w2agz.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-bottom:dotted windowtext 3.0pt;padding:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in;border-color:-moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color windowtext'><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Addenda...I include the following at the risk of angering Santo Paolo who may excommunicate me from the forum on the basis of “topic out of bounds.” “Mea culpa...dominus noster...” Therefore I apologize for this posting and to those for whom English is not their native language, especially Americans, Australians, Kiwis, Irish, Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Indians and particularly Quebecois (British Columbians excepted).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>2011 is the 100<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the discovery of superconductivity and the 25<sup>th</sup> of above liquid nitrogen in copper oxide perovskites.
