Did you know that you can visualize Bloch states with ATK/VNL?!
We have used this functionality in a
new tutorial to demonstrate how spin creates a band gap in a zigzag graphene nanowire, which is gapless/metallic without spin included. By plotting the Bloch states we see that the two spin components localize on opposite edges of the ribbon.
An example of a Bloch state plot is attached.
