 We are furthermore interested in the change of structure this adsorbent causes. Try to visualize which atoms have to assume a new position in order to minimize the total energy. That is: plot $\sqrt{(x^i-x^i_0)^2 + (y^i-y^i_0)^2 + (z^i-z^i_0)^2}$ in a sensible manner (one which also retains the geometry of graphene). We are furthermore interested in the change of structure this adsorbent causes.

 +======= Analyzing defects in hexagonal Boron-Nitride =======
 +
 +Repeat the calculations of the vacancy formation, defect formation and adsorption for the h-BN-layer structure, taking into account that now both the N and the B can be replaced.
 +
 +Compare the energies for the two cases, where is a vacancy more likely to be and on top of which atom does an oxygen atom preferably adsorb.
 +
 +<note tip>Use the total energy of a B or N atom when calculating the vacancy formation energy.</note>
 +
 +Since N and B are radicals, you have to include the following keywords/options in the right places (use the CP2K manual):
 +
 +  * ''UKS = .TRUE.''
 +  * ''MULITPLCITY = ...''
