Maybe the nanoribbon should not be buckled, and the geometry optimizer has actually predicted it. What makes you believe that it must be buckled?

A silicene sheet or silicene nanoribbon should be buckled? Your system is a narrow ribbon, it is not obvious at all that it is to be buckled as well as an infinite 2D structure.

I am not saying that a silicene sheet is not buckled. The question is whether the unsupported narrow ribbon is also buckled; the tutorial does not consider the nanoribbon case, and the forum discussion is not very conclusive on that matter.
