Dear Quantumwise team,
How to make the nanorod configuration of any material in quantumwise-ATK?

Thanks

What version of QuantumATK are you using? In principle, you must be able to use the Nanowire plugin to build nanowires/nanorods in the Builder, at least for cubic cells.

Otherwise, one needs to creative and, e.g., cleave a crystal structure in the crystallographic direction (and perhaps choosing proper in-plane lattice vectors) that is aligned with the nanowire axis. One then has to shape a nanowire of interest by manually cutting off the nanowire edges in the Builder, which can be done by selecting and deleting certain groups of atoms to make vacuum padding around the nanowire/nanorod.

Dear Sir,
First of all thanks for your reply. Right now I am using the 2017 version of the Quantum-ATK.

Thanks

Nanowire plugin is available for 2017. For non-cubic crystals, you may try the procedure described in my previous post.
