ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL MAP

Hi,
I have two question
1)I used Fe13 as a catalyst for the nucleation of SWCNT. After two stage, i.e. Fe13+20C, on the third stage (5,0), the added carbon atoms form a ring far away from the CNT. Why? Pls I need your help. I got the same for T=0K and T=400K. I raised the temperature but no change at all.

2)Is it possible to plot the electrostatic potential map from VASP output?
Thanks
Anteneh

1: a non-vasp question
2: electrostatic potential is calculated using LVTOT=.TRUE., written in LOCPOT file. More details e.g. in the previous discussion:

Hi dear Admin,
Thanks a lot for the information you gave me about LOCPOT. I used VMD to plot it but my plot is not good as I expect. Is that the right choice for plotting?
thanks
