simulating stm tip
How can I simulate an stm tip in VASP? Can you explain the necessary steps briefly?

simulating stm tip
STM image calculations in VASP are based on the Tersoff Haman approach, which does not take the tip into account explicitely (the tip is implicitely assumed to be an s-wavefunction of a monoatomic tip)
