Supercell
« on: July 21, 2015, 08:13 »
Hello Sir,
According to my understanding if we take a unit cell for computations in Quantum wise it is repeated in X, Y and Z directions upto infinity. But what happens if we take a supercell having particular no. of atoms. Is it also repeated upto infinity in all directions fr calculation purpose?

Yes, of course. This is related to the periodic boundary conditions; it doesn't matter how you cell was constructed.
