I am studying nanoclusters in which I have searched the DFT energy landscape and data mining was performed. As the next step, I am trying to prepare a few bulk cut structures but I have no experience in it.

What is the general method for obtaining the bulk cut structures?

Do you obtain the structures by leaving a structure with correct stoichiometry and removing the rest of the atoms?

  • $\begingroup$ As a starting point, a great free software tool for preparing cut crystals is VESTA. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @HaydenS I'm using VESTA but I was not aware of that! Could you please elaborate that? $\endgroup$
