-This page describes how to generate, using Fireball, the tip_e_str.inp with the retarded and advanced green functions and the density of states (DOS) for the STM program . 
-First, we need to obtain SCF-solution for particular geometry. Once we have it, we need to switch on these options: 
  
-  ifixcharge = 1  ​ 
-  iwrtdos = 1 
- 
-Simulation parameters are defined in two additional files: 
- 
----- 
- 
-''​dos.optional''​ 
-This file defines basic parameters of the DOS calculation. 
- 
-       ​1.00000 ​             ! ratio of lattice (for fractional coordinates,​ if xyz are in Angstroms maintain 1.000) 
-       ​1 ​  ​5 ​               ! natom_beg,​natom_end (initial and final atom for the DOS calculation) ​   
-     ​401 ​                   ! number of energies (number of energies in the DOS calcuation) 
-  -12.0    0.05             ! first energy (initial absolute energy (fireball'​s value is the Fermi Level) and energy step  ​ 
-       ​1 ​                   ! 1/0 yes/no write the tip_e_str.inp file for the DOS 
-      -4.01  4.01           ! minimun and maximum energy limit for writing the green function in the tip_e_str.inp file 
-       ​0.05 ​                ! imaginary part for the green function in the DOS calculation

-One comment related with the minimum and maximum energy limits. Normally, we are interested in the range 2eV bellow and above the Fermi Level, but calculating a bigger range of DOS. These parameters give us the opportunity to do both things together: dos calculation and tip_e_str.inp fie generation. As an example we can consider a system with a FL=-2.0 eV and we want to generate the file from -2+FL to FL+2 doing the calculation of the complete DOS from -10 to +10 with an energy step of 0.05. The corresponding file is showed above. (Take a look to the minimum and maximum vales a little bit larger to avoid numerical bad effects).
