Dear SIESTA users, recently I found a paper Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 (2005) 056103 which describe new effective method to simulate realistic STM images.
It is not just LDOS plot, the authors calculate wave fucntions of tip and surface independently and then simulate the current, assuming that tip does not change strongly wave function of the surface. The results are in much better agreement with experiment than LDOS plot. I am interested if this software is available? Or will it be available in future? The software is looking very helpful. Ruslan
