Dear OpenMX developers and users,
 I would like to obtain the average potential energy(to get the vacuum level) to calculate the work function of a graphene sheet and a metallic nanoribbon.
 
 In this case, have I to include ghost atoms?
 
 If, yes, would the procedure be create two fictitious layers one above and another below to the real layer (as a trilayer graphene)?
 
 Ex:
 [Layer1(fictitious)] 3\AA\ [layer2(real)] 3\AA\ [layer3 (fictitious)]
 
 where 3 \AA\ is the separation between the layers.
 
 For the nanoribbon, should I proceed in the same way?
 
 Thanks in advance!
