I'm new to Exciting. My newbie questions are: how come Exciting code can generate STM image for a bulk system? Is there is a predefined surface orientation for a bulk so Exciting can draw STM for it? If not, what's the point of task 162 then (considering bulk system)? Are there any good experiences with surfaces and thin film calculations in general? (sort of manual?).
I would kindly appreciate any suggestions, since I'm still getting into my ab-initio studies.
Best regards,
Michal H.
