Hello,
I was looking at the code for diminit.pl. In the comments of the code, it says that it generates a single-image dimer. If my understanding of the code is correct that means it doesn't make a midpoint but instead uses your original structure and one offset structure. Is that understanding correct and if so, which reference goes through this method?
Thank you,
Alec

Re: Single Image Dimer
Hi Alec,
That script will generate a POSCAR configuration at the center of the dimer and then a direction along the dimer in the DISPLACECAR_sp file. So to say this a different way, the dimer will be centered at the POSCAR and aligned along the unit vector in DISPLACECAR_sp.
