Slot: k_point_mesh

Monkhorst-Pack k-point mesh used for Brillouin zone sampling

(e.g. "4×4×1" for a surface slab, "8×8×8" for a bulk cell).

Applicable Classes

Name	Description	Modifies Slot
DFTSettingsMixin	Mixin providing plane-wave DFT numerical settings shared by CalculatedProperty subclasses that are computed with periodic DFT (DielectricTensors, EquationsOfState, ElectronicStructure, BandGap).	no
DielectricTensors	Dielectric tensor computed from density functional perturbation theory (DFPT). Characterises the optical and static dielectric response of a material.	no
EquationsOfState	Equation of state relating energy (or enthalpy) to volume, fitted to a parametric model (e.g. Birch-Murnaghan). Used to extract equilibrium volume, bulk modulus, and its pressure derivative.	no
ElectronicStructure	Electronic band structure and density of states, characterising the electronic properties of a catalyst relevant to activity descriptors (d-band centre, band gap, Fermi energy).	no
BandGap	Electronic band gap and its character (direct/indirect), with optional many-body (GW) or excitonic corrections. Critical for photocatalyst and semiconductor catalyst screening.	no
