How to do Tetragonal Distortion in Quantum Espresso?

24 July 2023 0 5K Report

Hi, I am trying to do tetragonal distortion to my FCC crystal lattice in Quantum Espresso. If I give two lattice constants 'a' and 'c' what 'ibrav' should I use? Or is there any other method to do tetragonal distortion calculation?

Thanks in advance
