[Pw_forum] Visualize STM image with XCrySDen

2014-07-30 Thread Paolo Giannozzi
Xcrysden doesn't show surfaces unless you istruct it 
to show them (tools -> data grid). Did you?

[Pw_forum] Visualize STM image with XCrySDen

2014-07-30 Thread Li, Run
Dear all,

I run into some problem trying to visualize the STM image with Xcrysden. I 
followed the hands-on tutorial 
(http://www.fisica.uniud.it/~giannozz/QE-Tutorial/tutorial_postproc.pdf), used 
pp.x to generate STM. However, I couldn't visualize the generated output 
AlAs110-1.0.xsf as the tutorial indicates. I can only see the actual atoms, but 
not the STM image. Is there anything I should do? My research project is a 2D 
structure generated using big vacuum on z direction, and it looks like such 2D 
STM can only be written in .xsf format? Is there any other software package I 
can easily switch to?

My QuantumEspresso version: 5.0.3
XCrySDen version: 1.5.24-bin-semishared, installed on ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Thanks,
