Applicable Classes

Name Description Modifies Slot
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
DFTSettingsMixin Mixin providing plane-wave DFT numerical settings shared by CalculatedProperty
subclasses that are computed with periodic DFT (DielectricTensors,
EquationsOfState, ElectronicStructure, BandGap).
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
DFT Density functional theory — a quantum mechanical method for calculating
the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, and periodic solids.
The most widely used ab initio method in computational catalysis.
no
