Quantum Mechanical SPM Simulator: DFTB


We introduce Quantum Mechanical SPM Simulator DFTB in this page.
Contents for each calculation mode have a hyperlink in it.
By following a hyperlink of them, you can refer to calculation cases for the calculation mode.
In each calculation case, movie tutorials and an operation procedure are prepared.
Please help yourself by using these documents.

Simulation is performed based on a quantum mechanical method on DFTB.
Density Functional based Tight Binding method is adopted.
So calculation time is greatly reduced in comparison with that of ab initio calculation.
It is possible to simulate STM, STS, AFM, and KPFM for an organic compound upon an inorganic material surface or upon a metal substrate.
Kinds of chemical elements we can use as constituent elements of a tip and a sample is no less than 69 kinds described below, and almost all inorganic compounds and organic compounds can be used on simulation.
H, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Te, I, Cs, La, Ce, Ba, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, W, Re, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Pb, Bi, U


[Selection of a calculation mode] DFTB has the 4 kinds of calculation modes described below.
Select the one appropriate for your purpose from below.

[AFM mode](AFM)

An frequency shift image of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) with the frequency modulation detection method is calculated.

[KPFM mode](KPFM)

A local contact potential difference image on Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) is calculated.

[STM mode](STM)

A tunnelling current image on Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is calculated.

[STS mode](STS)

A tunnelling spectrum on Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy (STS) is calculated.
