Nanowire direction

[karma]

how to create nanowires with direction such as [001] & [010]

[lknife]

Do you know which direction is the [001] or [010] direction? If so, in my opinion, you can make this direction, such as [001] direction, to be the c direction of the nanosheet, by swapping the axis. Then, cut the nanosheet to form a nanowire.

The Nanowire builder in VNL (Builders -> Nanowire) lets you create nanowires from bulk configurations (e.g. Cu nanowires).

Thank u for your reply sir..... i have to use both the direction that I hv mentioned but since I am using different phases of tio2 to construct the nanowire and also I have to provide surface energy to promote the favourable surface

 the builder does not provide the option for the directions that I have mentioned

You can add them yourself, by clicking the Add button. However, a Wulff construction might not be a particularly good model if (100) and (001) have very different surface energies.
