Basis vector database

[agupta16]

I am a new vasp user and may be this is a too trivial thing to ask but I have been struggling to find a good database to look up basis vector coordinates of atoms in indium oxide. Could any of you please suggest something.

I have a POSCAR file and I am not able to troubleshoot which coordinated I have put it wrong. Any freely available visualization tool which takes POSCAR file as input would also be great.

THanks in advance.

The information of crystal structure can be found at: http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd
Then, you can transfer the structure information to crystal vector and atom's position by the utility, spacegroup, in ELK code (an open-source FP-LAPW software).

Even though I do not know how to use VASP, I think still one can use this structure information in any DFT software.
the input file for spacegroup utility:

'I213'

Then the vector and atomic postitions information is:

Hi, If you like you can post your POSCAR file here,

I myself use VMD as to visualize VASP files.

Cheers

Thank you so much for this information. I really appreciate it.
