For example, I have a test case with a vacuum of about 13 Angstrom. What should be my start value (value above the surface atom) and end value (value around middle of vacuum)? Also in the UG page 172, section 18.5 it's mentioned that "<b><font color="#5b8828">Optionally one can simulate a constant current STM image, where a height profile (above a surface slab) corresponding to a specific electron density value can be extracted from the case.xsf-file and written into case stm.xsf-file</font></b>." Please the extraction of the electron density is it automatic or it should be done manually, and which file case.xsf or case_stm.xsf should be use for the plotting? <br clear="none"></div><div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br clear="none"></div><div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Thanks a lot for your time.</div><div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br clear="none"></div><div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">With kind regards.<br clear="none"></div><p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><b><font size="3" face="verdana, helvetica, sans-serif"><i>Lawal </i></font></b></p></span></div></div>
