Why do you need to do that? In general I would say it's not possible, these are not standard file formats you can just convert between.

Dear Dr. Blom,
Thanks for your reply.
I am working the tutorial of boron difussion on silicon surface, and the script for AKMC shows that it need to read a file *.nc with the optimized structure. I tried with a file *.py without success.

Any tutorial which mentions NC files is just old. We use HDF5 files now for all data. So your previous step should have written an HDF5 file with the optimized structure, and you just read that same file in the next step.
