How to build a graphene supercell?
Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:51 am
Hi everyone,
I trying to do a geometric optimization of BCN-nanosheet, but I don?t know how to build the supercell. My step to create the POSCAR file are the following:
1) take a nanosheet molecule from nanotube modeller and modify some atoms or change some carbons atoms.
2) convert this graphene nanosheet in a crystal using crystalmaker,
3) create the POSCAR file using VESTA.
However, I think that is wrong because when is running in VASP never finished and the energies contained large fluctuations.
Please help meeeeeee and thank you in advance... How to do a hexagonal supercell? How to build a graphene supercell?
