and copy there the tar file of the exercise:

We consider two possible chemical terminations for a finite size 7-AGNR. In TASK_1 the ribbon is terminated with a C-H2 bonding while in TASK_2 the termination is C-H The additional H atom present at the termini of the ribbon of TASK_1 will suppress the spin polarized edge states that are evident in the ribbon of TASK_2
TASK_1
Have a look to the cp2k input file cp2k.inp used to obtain quickly the optimized geometry of a ribbon adsorbed on a Au substrate. The ribbon is modelled within DFTB (similar to tight binding) while the substrate is modelled via Embedded Atom Model.
qsub run
After completion of the optimization you should extract the final coordinates of the molecule and copy them in the STM directory to compute the KS orbitals and to ocmpute the STM images you can extract the coordinates running the following script:
./positions.sc
