unit cell transformation
« on: March 7, 2016, 15:22 »
Dear Sir,
Can you please let me know what is the procedure to transform a unit cell to fractional type (like sqrt(3)xsqrt(3) or sqrt(13)xsqrt(13)) supercell in crystal builder? As for example, how can I transform a regular Silicene unitcell to sqrt(3)xsqrt(3) Silicene unitcell?

Thanks
Ramkrishna
