This is an old revision of the document!
For succesful simulation of STM, we will need (except the STM code) several files. First of all we'll need the right “Fdata” directory (or the link) at our computation directory. Even this files, we will use:
Atomo_i
options.inp
scan.inp
struc.inp
samplek.kpts
tip_e_str.inp
tip_g_str.inp
tip_sample_i_j.inp (interaction_i_j.dat)
Let's have a look on them.
This files contains information about Hamiltonian of each atom of the elementary cell of the sample. Their number is the same like the number of atoms in “*.bas” file (which is not necessary here).
The file contains the k-points which will be used for calculations (for the sampling of the k-space). The format is as following:
2 !number of k-points
1.123456 0.500000 0.000000 0.5 !x,y,z coordinate of the k-point and the statistical weight of this k-point
1.123456 -0.500000 0.000000 0.5
The important thing is, the k-points must be symmetric, it is not possible to use just 1/2 of symmetric points.
