@@TaylorSparks actually I am new on using VESTA as I was using other software but I found VESTA is powerful, but I have faced this issues The quality (resolution) of the image I have produced (jpeg format) was very poor. Regards

Hi Prof. Sparks, thank you so much for your tutorials! They have been a great help with learning Vesta for the first time. I was wondering that would it be possible for you to make a tutorial about how to make cutout images of unit cells since I have looked through the web and couldn't find anything to help me. Thanks
hi mister taylor thank you very much really excellent explanation, i need videos like that i am looking for explanations of articles like your video thank you for helping me ... thank you taylors
It does have some great stuff. For example, it simulates diffraction patterns. I think you can also get electron densities and other cool stuff. Check utilities
I don't think it is possible (to my knowledge). Instead, I export two images; one with the structure and another with lone atoms. I then use illustrator to merge these into a legend.
Hello Taylor. Could someone clearly explain, if one has a cif file with a giant conventional structure of like 200+ atoms, how could one obtain from it a primitive cell? I was looking at the Bilbao structure utilities tool and Vesta for a possible answer but I’m a little unsure of what we can do to not mess our current structure since I’m new to this. Could someone give a good answer please?
i create monolayer and export it as cif file. But when open cif file again on vesta or other software it does not show me monolayer, moreover it starts from unit cell parameters mean to say first step. How can export data as a monolayer???Plz reply ?it would be big help for me thankyou
Hi I need to calculate the interaction energy of a crystal with a molecule. How can I import both the crystal and the molecule in one window? Then to position the molecule correctly, I will export the file to a PDB format and visualise in another software like Avogadro or GaussView. I really need to know how to import 2 structures in the same window in vesta. Thanks
Dear Dr.Sparks, I have one thing to ask you. I have built the QDs with core/shell structure, during building steps I make bonding connecting the core atom to the shell atom. Then I save it as vesta file that everything is ok. But when I export from vesta file to another file (such as xyz and vasp file.) then open that xyz file some bonding is disappeared. Do I do anything wrong? Thank Dr.Sparks
@ Taylor, excellent tutorial, very very fluid and easy to follow. Could you create a tutorial for creating slab models using Vesta, for different crystallographic planes?
Dear Prof. Sparks, thank you for replying and agreeing to prepare a tutorial for creating slab models. A lot of users face difficulty in creating slab models of different crystallographic planes using Vesta. It would be also helpful if you choose the material to be Anatase (TiO2).
Hi Taylor, thanks for the video. I have a question, how can I export the image animation of an structure? Is it posible? I could export just image not the animation. Thanks
Unfortunately I don't think this is possible with Vesta. I think the only thing that you could do is export a series of pictures and then loop them together using a gif. What I would do is export them and then do a five degree rotation and then export another and so on.
Symmetry! That's how this software works. You tell it one atomic position and then it applies symmetry elements to reproduce that atom in all of the appropriate positions.
Sorry to bother you, sir. recently, I am working on some TEM projects. there is a question, and I wonder whether you could offer me some help. Is there any method to transform the orientation matrix in vesta to the projection vector? because I really want to know the exact uvw values to do the STEM simulation. thank you very much.
Thanks for the Video. Really helpful. Do you know how to delete more than one atom? I can't highlight in the Editor. I have a structure with about 250 O-Atoms. I want them all to be gone.
Thanks for this tutorial. It is very informative and helpful. I have one question. How to make balls and stick look sharp/smooth? By default it appear pixels
to make it look sharper what you want to do is increase the zoom to get the structure larger on the white screen space and then, when you are satisfied, go to File->Export Raster Image-> select a title for your image and then when prompted to export the image you can select a number to scale it by. The default is 1X scaling but to get higher resolution you can increase this number. 10X for example is a very large file with much higher resolution.
How could I make just a one estrcutur? Because when i take from this website it make me so many and i just wanna one (www.crystallography.net/cod/1515581.html)

Your tutorial is excellent. Many thanks for sharing such great knowledge.
Very glad to help!

Mirwaiz Rahaman you can make a crystal and cut away atoms to create nanowires though. I'll be doing a slab model video on that soon.
Hi! I'm highschool student and It helps me a lot. But I have a question. What do you think is the advantage of vesta?
It's free.
Why do atoms appear clustered together, I add one Pb atom but 5 or more appear in a single place?
Symmetry! That's how this software works. You tell it one atomic position and then it applies symmetry elements to reproduce that atom in all of the appropriate positions.

Can you please tell me how to calculate the angle between the moment of an element with the crystal axis?
I would say that the easiest thing to do is take the dot product between the two vectors as that will give you the angle between any two arbitrary
Thanks for the Video. Really helpful.
Do you know how to delete more than one atom? I can't highlight in the Editor. I have a structure with about 250 O-Atoms. I want them all to be gone.
Under edit->structure I would just delete the atom.

What if I want to dope C60 with say potassium K (KC60, K2C60, K3C60) etc. How would i produce a cif for that using vesta?
Unfortunately I don't think Vesta can do it. It only creates periodic solids ( those with a continuous lattice) not single molecules like buckyballs.
@@TaylorSparks oh okay. Do you have any suggestions software or package-wise?
Would it be possible to add/show line defects (dislocations)?
