[CP2K-user] Free surface creation

[Travis]

Hi,

A list of some software for generating slabs,

Commercial: VirtualNanoLab, MedeA, Materials Studio, Amsterdam modeling 
suite
Free: atomsk, burai, pymatgen, Atomic Simulation Environment, check 
Materials Project for VASP pre-optimized surface (rescale the coordinates 
and lattice parameters to match your CP2K results), supposedly Avogadro and 
VESTA can do it as well but I've never used them for slab generation, check 
SI of papers using the same surface for coordinates
