### Create VASP Supercells with pymatgen (Python)

Source: https://vasp.at/tutorials/latest/phonon/part2

Generates supercells for VASP simulations by manipulating crystal structures. This code uses the pymatgen library to read an existing POSCAR file, create a supercell of a specified size (e.g., 2x2x2), and write the new structure to a POSCAR file. Ensure pymatgen is installed (`pip install pymatgen`) and the input POSCAR file exists.

```python
from pymatgen.core import Structure
from pymatgen.io.vasp import Poscar

my_struc = Structure.from_file("./e05_mgo-fin-diff-force-constants/POSCAR")

# make a 2x2x2 supercell
my_struc.make_supercell([2,2,2])

# write supercell to POSCAR format with specified filename
folder = "./e05_mgo-fin-diff-force-constants/supercell_2x2x2"
Poscar(my_struc).write_file(filename=f"{folder}/POSCAR",significant_figures=16)
