how to build the graphene nanoribbons?

[artingchen]

Hi,
I want to build the graphene nanoribbons. So I download the graphene_ribbon.py file from the http://quantumwise.com. However, when I drug it into the VNL, It does not work. can anyone details the method of building the graphene nanoribbons? Thank you !

That script only works for VNL 2008.10 (and you need to look inside it and edit the details). In 2010.02 and 10.8, there is a built-in ribbon builder as part of the "Custom" builders.

In 2008.10, the way to use the script is to drop it on the Builder, for instance. However, to make the kind of ribbon you want, you should change the parameters. If you just downloaded it, and dropped it directly, and it failed, probably the script got messed up somehow. Try to follow the tutorial, and if you fail at some point, let us know in more detail what you do, and how it fails, otherwise we cannot really help.
