Hi everyone, I have conducted some experiments that reveal a surface reconstruction of SnO2. I would like to build some models but I do not know how to do so with CrystalMaker or Vesta. Are there any other software I could use to achieve this? Your help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thank you and kind regards,
Arthur
Dear Arthur,
sorry to see that your interesting technical question has not yet received any expert answers. Although we published ca. 1,000+ crystal structures in the past, I would not call myself an expert in this particular field. However, it often pays off to search directly on RG for suitable answers and literature references.
For example, please have a look at the following potentially useful paper:
Visualization and analysis of crystal structures using CrystalMaker software
Article Visualization and analysis of crystal structures using Cryst...
Unfortunately the author does not have an RG profile, but it might perhaps be worth a try to send him an e-mail and ask for the full text of the article.
Also please check the answers given to the following closely related RG question:
Is there any software to generate the single crystal surfaces from the bulk structure?

Moreover, I suggest that you watch the following relevant YouTube tutorial video entitled:
VESTA Software - Rutile TiO2 [110] Surface Reconstruction

I hope that this information is useful to you. Good luck with your work and best wishes, Frank Edelmann
