AiiDAlab app for Scanning Probe Microscopy simulations

This repository contains AiiDA workflows and Jupyter GUI for running scanning probe microscopy simulations. The calculations are performed on top of a CP2K wave function optimization (ran with diagonalization) with the cp2k-spm-tools. The external tools need to be set up on the remote computer and can be conveniently done with setup_codes interface, which also installs the corresponding AiiDA plugins.

Features include:

  • Scanning tunnelling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) simulations.
  • Orbital analysis - calculates the STM/STS signatures of orbitals of isolated molecules.
  • Projected Density of States (PDOS) analysis - calculates the DOS projection on the adsorbed molecule together with gas-phase orbital content.
  • Atomic force microscopy (AFM) simulations - calls the ProbeParticle code.
  • High-resolution STM - simulates the STM/STS signatures performed with the CO tip.
