    Thank you so much.
    Please could you explain that is it always choose a plane like [001] or [110] or any other plane before making super cell and adding vacuum?

      When creating a supercell for a simulation of a crystal structure, it is not necessary to choose a specific plane before adding vacuum. The choice of the supercell size and shape depends on the specific goals of the simulation, such as the desired level of accuracy and the size of the system being modeled.
      However, in some cases, certain crystallographic planes may be preferred for simulating specific properties of the material. For example, if the properties of the surface of the crystal are of interest, a simulation using a slab of the material oriented along a specific crystallographic plane may be more appropriate. In this case, a specific plane such as [001] or [110] may be chosen based on the crystal structure and the desired properties to be studied.
      Furthermore, the choice of plane may also affect the boundary conditions imposed on the system, which can in turn affect the results of the simulation. For example, a simulation of a material with a free surface may require a vacuum layer above and below the material in order to avoid interactions with neighboring periodic images. The size and orientation of the supercell can affect the thickness of the vacuum layer needed for accurate results.

    could you please explain what types of atom can be dopped in a compound either fixed atom or any random atom as an impurity atom. Is there any rule for doping?

      Doping refers to intentionally adding impurity atoms to a material in order to change its electrical, optical, or structural properties. Doping can be done with a fixed type of atom, or with a random atom as an impurity.
      The choice of dopant atoms depends on the desired properties of the material. For example, doping silicon with boron or phosphorus can create p-type or n-type semiconductors, respectively, with different electrical conductivities. Similarly, doping a crystal of diamond with nitrogen atoms can change its color from clear to yellow.
      There are some general rules for doping. The dopant atom should have a similar size and structure to the host atom, so that it can easily replace the host atom without disrupting the crystal structure. The dopant atom should also have a similar valence electron configuration as the host atom, so that it can easily bond with neighboring atoms in the crystal lattice.
      In addition, the concentration of dopant atoms should be carefully controlled to achieve the desired properties of the material. Too few dopant atoms may not have a noticeable effect on the material, while too many can introduce defects and change the material's properties in unexpected ways.
      Overall, the choice and concentration of dopant atoms should be carefully considered in order to achieve the desired properties of the material.

    Thank you for your interesting video to use Vesta. Could you please explain that is there change in lattice parameter and space group while making super cell from unit cell?

      No, there is no change in space group or lattice parameter when we build a supercell

    Hi, i have a graphene 2D model in VESTA, and i want to create graphene oxide by functionalizing it with various oxygen-functional groups (epoxide, hydroxyl, carboxyl, carbonyl) at random places on the graphene layer. How can i add the oxygen functional groups on graphene in VESTA? Thank you.

    Is it always necessary to add vacuum in supercell for doping? Or can we dop only in supercell with out adding vacuum?

    • @DnyaNiPhysicsWorld
      @DnyaNiPhysicsWorld  Рік тому +1

      In simulations of doping in a crystal structure, it may or may not be necessary to add vacuum in the supercell, depending on the specific goals of the simulation.
      Adding vacuum can be useful to avoid interactions between periodic images of the crystal and to prevent artifacts that may arise due to boundary effects. This is particularly important if the dopant atoms are located near the edge of the supercell.
      However, if the dopant atoms are far enough from the edges of the supercell and the periodic boundary conditions do not affect the results of the simulation, then adding vacuum may not be necessary. In some cases, the presence of vacuum may also lead to artificial effects, such as a reduction in the doping concentration or changes in the electronic structure.
      Whether or not to add vacuum in the supercell when simulating doping in a crystal structure depends on the specific goals of the simulation and the location of the dopant atoms within the supercell. If the dopant atoms are far enough from the edges of the supercell, then vacuum may not be necessary, but in other cases, it can be important to avoid boundary effects
