Hi
Before to use SIESTA, I used Gaussian mainly. So, for me to use GaussView
to construct my crystal is easy. I know about other program such Maestro,
Molekel, gdis, Material Studio, Avogradro. I think that all is program are
a bit difficult to use. Except Material Studio and GaussVieww, all are

Try gdis. It can directly read and write fdf files and can create a surface slab
with given Miller indices. I don't know if you can create a crystal from scratch.

More powerful, but text-based and clunky to use, is tetr.

I personally use GaussView. Maestro is free, and good for molecules. But
if you're only interested in crystal surfaces you could write your own code,
say in fortran, to generate a periodic structure.

Dear all,
I am learning the siesta now, while I still can not find a suitable software

kind is free or cheap? what kind of software are you using for the siesta?
Thank you very much
Yours,
Min Gao
