Provided you have a suitable bulk structure of the Ta2O5 (like discussed in Journal of Applied Physics, AIP, 106, 103713 (2009) (http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3260244)), you can use the "Builder 2012" in VNL 11.8 to cleave the structure, there is a new and improved Surface Builder in this tool. You can download a time-limited beta-version of 11.8 from our website, it works with the older 11.2 license.

The "Builder 2012" in 11.8 is a preview version of the ultimate new Builder that will be presented in 12.2, with lots of new functionality.
