Code simulating various various STM techniques, especially for tilting tips (depending on ProkopHapala/ProbeParticleModel ) This is implementation of efficient and simple model for simulation of High-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Normall STM simulations using Chen's approximattion is part of the code as well
- BEWARE - after repairing misteake in d-orbitals the results for FePc are different. We are investigating it.
- currently developed Python3/C++ version of the PPSTM code:
- works in python3(.7 and higher), matplotlib, cpp>=4.4.8 (look at wiki instruction for problems with MAC compilation), PyQt5 (for GUI ),for some parts ASE and GPAW are imporatant;
- Part of the code regarding simulations with tilting tips is depending on the ProbeParticleModel developed by Prokop Hapala and co. (https://github.com/ProkopHapala/ProbeParticleModel), you can easilly install it throug
install_PPAFM.sh
script.
For easy introduction to this code and its functionalities, try Graphic User Interface (GUI) or PPSTM_simple.py script.
Documentation is here at wiki and older documentation is at http://nanosurf.fzu.cz/wiki/doku.php?id=probe_particle_stm .
It can also simulate IETS images of molecules, if the imaging mechanism is driven by the amplitude of the IETS peak.
