Gr/Ni(111): registry, separation and work of adhesion — Specific Example

Reproduces the graphene/Ni(111) structure and energetics collected in Dahal & Batzill, Nanoscale 6,
2548 (2014), whose computed values are from Lahiri et al., New J. Phys. 13, 025001 (2011), Table 1:
work of adhesion 0.81 / 0.77 / 0.31 J/m² for the fcc / hcp / hollow registries at 2.16 / 2.17 /
3.26 Å
, with the atop carbon buckled away from the surface.

What ships (api-examples):

  • optimization_interface_film_xy_position_graphene_nickel_SIMULATION.ipynb — loads the interface the
    structure notebook saves; derives the four registries of the review's Fig. 1 (one carbon atop, the
    other on the fcc / hcp hollow; both on hollows; bridge); relaxes each with MACE-MP (bottom substrate
    layers fixed, the paper's scheme) and prints the MACE numbers beside the paper's — MACE is
    PBE-grade, and the paper rejects GGA-level physics for this interface;
    positions move along z only, with the deepest substrate layers fixed, for the interface and both
    same-cell references alike — full relaxation for the paper's symmetric registries by symmetry, and
    what keeps the bridge's in-plane saddle defined; then submits, at the paper's functional (LDA/pz
    ultrasoft, spin-polarized, no dispersion), one fixed-cell relaxation per selected registry plus
    the two same-cell references, reads energy and final structure back, and adds those values to
    the same comparison table.
  • Structure notebook: also saves the base interface under Graphene_Nickel_interface.
  • Introduction.ipynb: the row's Simulation link.
  • The registry machinery comes from mat3ra.made (Surface sites and layer grouping for adsorbed films (SOF-8043) made#298, the surface-net-minimum cut):
    SurfaceSiteAnalyzer (named atop / bridge / fcc / hcp / hollow sites of any flat surface net),
    get_closest_site_id_from_coordinate_and_element (point at an atom by element and coordinate),
    get_film_site_occupation (which site each film atom sits on), and get_atom_indices_by_layer
    (bottom-layer-first atom groups, sliced inline for the frozen substrate layers — no
    bottom-layers-specific helper survives). The one thing kept in notebooks_utils is
    mlff/relaxation.pyrelax_material, ASE relaxation with fixed atoms and z-only motion —
    because an optimizer does not belong in the structure library. Energies, interface parts,
    interlayer distance and area are made functions that already existed. The registry cell is four
    statements: an anchor carbon named by coordinate and element, the site each registry puts it on,
    the shift, and the occupation check.

Divergences from the paper, stated in the notebook and on the docs page: 4 Ni layers not 5; 20 Å
vacuum not 90; the platform relaxes every atom where the paper held the bottom two layers;
plane-wave pseudopotentials not all-electron LCAO. The graphene reference runs nspin = 1.

Verification: fast tier run natively (D3 active) — fcc 0.17 J/m² @ 1.98 Å, buckling −0.006 Å,
hollow 0.30 J/m² @ 4.08 Å — and in the browser through the local Cypress harness kept in the task
record (both notebooks end to end). The rendered pw_relax input carries calculation = 'relax',
nspin = 2, starting_magnetization(1) = 0.7, smearing = 'mv', degauss = 0.01,
mixing_mode = 'local-TF', mixing_beta = 0.2, electron_maxstep = 200, no vdw_corr; the
graphene workflow nspin = 1. Cold smearing + local-TF is what converges this slab on cluster-001
(the defaults stop at 100 iterations).

The one open item, at first review: the DFT tier had not yet been run end to end on the platform,
so its columns in the final table were still . Everything up to submission is exercised; the
result path is written to the
platform's property API shape (get_for_job returns the data records) and mirrors
equation_of_state.ipynb / relaxation.ipynb.

Production result (2026-09-12): the default Compute timeLimit (01:00:00) timed out the
spin-polarized relaxation on queue D with one core; on QUEUE_NAME=OF, PPN=40,
TIME_LIMIT="04:00:00" all three DFT-tier jobs finished and the fetch path (get_final_structure_for_job

  • get_properties_for_job) read them back: W_adh 1.01 J/m², d 2.02 Å, buckling +0.013 Å vs the
    paper's 0.81 J/m² / 2.16 Å / ~0.03 Å.

Fixed since the first review: the relaxation test built its fixture from an unpinned ZSL match
— CI's transitive graph (scipy 1.15.3 there vs 1.17.1 in the task venv; pymatgen and spglib are
identical) resolves a different registry, breaking the "no in-plane force" row. The fixture drops
that row (the other three hold under any starting geometry) and derives BOTTOM_NI /
DISPLACED_CARBON from the built structure's own elements and labels instead of hardcoded indices
— verified against a from-scratch venv pinned to the exact released mat3ra-made and scipy
CI resolves, not just the made#298 dev worktree, since the first fix (forcing the film onto a named
registry with SurfaceSiteAnalyzer) needs made#298 in the unit tests too, which the released wheel
doesn't have yet. run-py-tests green on 3.10/3.11/3.12. The printed values (both tiers) are within
the approved tolerance — separation +/- 0.05 A, buckling sign-correct and within a factor of
2 — and the DFT-results cell (55 lines) splits at the readers/usage seam to match the sibling
notebooks' cell-length convention.

Depends on mat3ra/made#298 — do not merge before made releases it. mat3ra-made is not pinned:
a git pin would break this package's own PyPI publish. Unit tests run against the released made;
only the notebook needs the new release.

Docs: mat3ra/documentation#400. Task record: SOF-8043.

Size: +1307 over 11 files in 2 repos (api-examples +1104/−2 over 6, documentation +203/−1 over 5)
against the plan's 3 repos · 8 files · ~+1100.

Reproduces the registry energetics of graphene on Ni(111) from Dahal &
Batzill, Nanoscale 6, 2548 (2014): which high-symmetry registry is
favourable, and how far the film sits above the surface.

Two tiers. The film is placed at each of top-fcc, top-hcp, bridge-top and
hollow — sites measured from the substrate's own top three Ni layers, and
each registry labelled by where the second carbon sublattice lands — then
scanned in z with MACE-MP + D3. A chemisorbing registry has two minima, so
the comparison reads the chemisorbed branch and compares each registry at
its own minimum; comparing at a shared height misranks them. The platform
tier then computes one Total Energy job per registry at that geometry.

The structure notebook additionally saves the base interface, which the
simulation notebook loads by name: it previously saved only the
empirically optimized variant.

Verified in JupyterLite: top_fcc wins at 2.01 A (article: top-fcc at
2.1 A) and the hollow registry does not chemisorb.

The energy-vs-separation figure raised KeyError: 'e_min', a key removed when
the scan was reworked into chemisorbed and dispersion-bound branches. Run
All Cells continues past an error and the assertions were downstream, so it
went unnoticed.

Registries now carry the manuscript's own names and cover all four of its
Fig. 1 configurations — hollow, atop/fcc, atop/hcp, bridge — with the figure
itself embedded. Bridge is defined by its geometry rather than labelled by
nearest site: one of its carbons is equidistant from two sites, so
classifying it returned whichever the dict happened to list first.

Claims match what the evidence supports. The two atop registries differ by a
few meV per carbon, finer than this method resolves, so the check is on the
atop family rather than on one of the two. The hollow registry's
dispersion-bound distance is reported for context, not gated: MACE-MP + D3
places it near 4 A rather than graphite's 3.3 A.

Two same-cell reference jobs (bare slab, free-standing film) now give an
adsorption energy per carbon atom, with the cell, k-grid, cutoffs and
smearing cancelling out of the difference.

Also: the displaced variants are no longer written into uploads/, where
load_material_from_folder's substring match over sorted filenames made them
shadow the base material on a second run; degauss raised to 0.01 Ry for the
metal; the scan-edge guard tests the sampled point rather than the
interpolated minimum; dead label-mapping block removed; stray tildes in the
introduction were rendering as strikethrough.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 9bcb6

This PR adds a substantial new graphene/Ni simulation notebook, but several open issues can cause it to silently report incorrect or misleading energetics: mismatched relaxed geometries can be attributed to the wrong registry, unconverged relaxations can be used as reference energies, some registry scan paths can pick invalid starting points or crash the reporting step, and the DFT tier appears to still run LDA instead of the intended PBE+D3 method. These should be resolved before relying on the notebook's quantitative conclusions.

The bridge registry did not match the manuscript's Fig. 1d. The figure puts
a first-layer Ni under the midpoint of a C-C bond — the vertical bonds run
through the centres of the surface atoms — while the code placed a carbon
on the Ni-Ni midpoint, 1.9 A away, which also left that carbon equidistant
from the fcc and hcp sites. The placement is now derived from the bond
midpoint and verified rather than asserted, and it moves the bridge
registry from 95 to 21 meV per carbon above atop/fcc, which is the shallow
saddle it should be.

starting_magnetization is indexed by position in ATOMIC_SPECIES, so the
free-standing graphene reference would have started carbon with nickel's
moment. The patch is now built per material by element, and a reference
whose elements differ from the interface's gets its own workflow.

The adsorption-energy references are off by default: they triple the job
count of a run that is meant to finish one job unattended.

Cutoffs drop to 40 Ry with an 8x density cutoff, per the GBRV guidelines
already followed elsewhere in this repo.

The scan-edge warning fired on every run, including where the minimum was
properly bracketed by the point below it. It now fires only when the lowest
chemisorbed sample is the first in the window, which is the case that
actually means the well may lie outside it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…r a default

The density cutoff was 8x the wavefunction cutoff, a ratio taken from a
sibling notebook that uses different pseudopotentials for a different
system. GBRV publishes its ultrasoft set as a 40 / 200 Ry pair, which is
also the platform default, so that is what this uses.

Each remaining parameter now states which of the three it rests on. The
k-point divisions are a multiple of three because K sits at (1/3, 1/3) and
has to lie on the grid, and dense because a metal's Fermi surface needs it.
The starting moment is Ni's bulk value. D3 is on because the hollow registry
has no chemisorbed minimum at all and is held only by dispersion. The MACE
model size is a measurement, not a preference: medium at float32 finds no
chemisorbed minimum and inverts the result.

The SCF settings are grounded in the failure they fix. A first job stopped
at "convergence NOT achieved after 100 iterations" with the total energy
oscillating in its fourth decimal — charge sloshing, not divergence. Cold
smearing leaves the free energy insensitive to degauss where the gaussian
default does not; local-TF mixing is built for the long-wavelength charge
oscillation a slab supports; a smaller mixing fraction and more iterations
let the magnetic moment settle.

…sion, LDA

The reproduction targets are now the source paper's own numbers — Lahiri et
al., New J. Phys. 13, 025001 (2011), Table 1, reached through the review:
work of adhesion 0.81 / 0.77 / 0.31 J/m^2 for fcc / hcp / hollow at 2.16 /
2.17 / 3.26 A, with the atop carbon buckled outward. (The review's text
quotes the hollow as 0.38; its source's table says 0.31.)

Both tiers relax, because the buckling is one of the published numbers and
no rigid placement can produce one. The fast tier follows the paper's
scheme with MACE — bottom substrate layers fixed, same-cell relaxed
references, registry re-verified after relaxation — and prints its
comparison against Table 1 with an honest per-tier verdict: MACE-MP is
PBE-trained, PBE is the functional the paper rejects for this interface,
and the tier reports "no" with that reason rather than passing invented
criteria. Where torch-dftd is unavailable (the browser), the tier says it
is computing the GGA-level picture the manuscript describes as inadequate,
and a registry with no minimum reports itself unbound instead of raising.

The platform tier now runs the paper's method: LDA (pz, GBRV ultrasoft —
the platform carries the LDA set for C and Ni), spin-polarized, with
relaxation, and no dispersion correction, matching the paper's stated
reason for choosing LDA over GGA. Each selected registry starts from its
MACE-relaxed geometry; the two same-cell references are always submitted
with it, so the work of adhesion is computable; an empty selection skips
the tier, which is what the automated test uses.

The convergence block is unchanged and now evidence-backed: gaussian
smearing at default mixing stops at "convergence NOT achieved after 100
iterations" on this slab, while cold smearing with local-TF mixing
converges the same structure in 62 (both outputs on cluster-001).

534 to 432 code lines, identical physics (verified to the digit), and the
83-line scan+relax cell split into machinery and narrative.

Most of what left was generality the notebook itself forbids: it asserts a
1x1 interface up front, so each Ni layer holds one atom — the z-clustering,
top-layer averaging and species introspection collapse to a sort, a max,
and one assert (Ni is species 1 in the interface and slab, so the
magnetization index is fixed; the graphene reference gets the same workflow
without the moment, ending the per-element-set dedup machinery). The
parabola refinement died with the rigid scan's authority: relaxation
supersedes interpolation, so a bracketed minimum is just the lowest
non-edge scanned point.

The k-grid loops are replaced by notebooks_utils' existing apply_scf_kgrid,
which this notebook had re-implemented. The comparison cell drops its
checks-dict scaffold for the established style: values beside the paper's,
one plain verdict per tier.

The three stackings are one atop-to-hcp step apart, so the film shifts are
0, one step, two steps — plain computed coordinates, valid for either hex
cell convention (a diagonal third is not, and the tie-refusing site check
caught that on this 120-degree cell). The site map remains only for what
arithmetic cannot give: the fcc/hcp name comes from what lies underneath.

Physics verified identical to the digit.

Comments that justified a choice to the reader are gone; the choice
stands on its own. The hollow target is Table 1's value with no aside
about the review's text; the dispersion note is the runtime print alone;
parameter comments are one line each.

We need a helper function to find coordinates for high-symmetry registries based on lattice types + miller indices


Reply via ReviewNB

…elpers

Five modules in notebooks_utils, generic rather than shaped to one notebook,
because the specific-examples corpus needs each of them repeatedly:

- surface: named high-symmetry adsorption sites — atop, bridge, and the fcc
  and hcp hollows told apart by which subsurface layer lies beneath, a
  distinction pymatgen's AdsorbateSiteFinder does not make. Delaunay over
  the tiled surface layer, so it holds for any lattice and Miller index
  whose surface is flat within a tolerance, for films and for passivation.
- relaxation: relax with the deepest layers held and, optionally, motion
  along z only, so a structure cannot slide out of its registry. Replaces a
  to_ase/FixAtoms/BFGS block written by hand in three notebooks already.
- energetics: energy from a calculator, in-plane area, and work of adhesion
  in J/m^2 from same-cell references.
- interface: film/substrate split, separation, corrugation.
- compute: cluster selection that says what is wrong when none is
  registered, instead of IndexError from clusters[0] — the pattern in eight
  merged workflow notebooks.

get_site_of returns None when two sites are equidistant rather than
resolving by dict order; an ambiguous label is how a structure gets reported
under the wrong registry.

relax carries build metadata across the ASE round-trip, and
get_interface_separation accepts the substrate elements, because the round
trip otherwise strips what interface_get_part needs and measuring a relaxed
interface raises.

The Gr/Ni notebook uses all five: 534 code lines when this review round
started, 376 now, with identical results to the digit. Also fixes two
CodeRabbit findings on #364 — a registry with no relaxed structure is
skipped before persistence, and cluster selection is guarded.

Align the submitted DFT jobs with PBE+D3. With the default non-empty DFT_REGISTRY_NAMES, the notebook submits pz/lda workflows without vdw_corr = "d3_grimme". Set MODEL_SUBTYPE = "gga", FUNCTIONAL = "pbe", and add d3_grimme to both pw_relax and pw_scf. If LDA without dispersion is intentional, update the PR objective and notebook claims instead.

ASE 3.25.0 BFGS Optimizer.run return value steps fmax official documentation

💡 Result:

In ASE 3.25.0, the run method of the BFGS optimizer (and other optimizers inheriting from the base Optimizer class) returns a boolean value indicating whether the optimization converged [1][2]. The run method performs the structure optimization until the forces on all atoms are less than the specified fmax (force convergence criterion) or until the maximum number of steps is reached [1]. Technical details: - Return Value: Returns True if the optimization converged (all atomic forces are below fmax) and False otherwise [1][2]. - fmax: This is an optional argument (default is typically 0.05 eV/Å) defining the force convergence threshold [1][3]. - steps: This is an optional argument defining the maximum number of optimization steps to perform [1][3]. As of version 3.25.0, the run method specifically respects the steps=0 argument, which allows for performing zero steps of optimization [4].

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use the seed height for each layer.

_layers supports slabs and interfaces whose surface layer is flat within layer_tolerance, but group[0][2] depends on input order rather than the z value that created the group. If a layer member is near the 0.5 Å boundary, this comparison can skip the next distinct layer. _hollow_name can then inspect the wrong subsurface layer and swap the fcc/hcp result.

…ets wrong

Review found the platform tier could not have produced a result:

- add_relaxation() on the total-energy workflow adds a variable-cell
  pw_vc-relax unit, and every setting patch named pw_relax/pw_scf, so the
  geometry step ran unpolarized at default mixing with a relaxing cell —
  voiding the same-cell cancellation. The tier now uses the platform's
  fixed_cell_relaxation workflow: one pw_relax unit, calculation='relax',
  and the rendered input carries nspin=2, starting_magnetization(1)=0.7,
  cold smearing, local-TF mixing, 12x12x1 and 40/200 Ry. The graphene
  reference runs nspin=1: it is non-magnetic, and QE needs a starting
  moment when nspin=2.
- properties.get_for_job already returns the data records, so
  property_data[0]["data"]["value"] would have raised on the first energy.
  Energies are read with their units; the final structure is read back
  and separation and buckling compared, not only the work of adhesion.
- The verdict is over what was selected, with the ordering check when all
  three registries are, instead of "no (1 of 3)".

The fast tier's prose claimed the structure side as its strength; measured,
it buckles the atop carbon toward the surface and sits 0.2 A too close.
The notebook now says what it delivers: the registry set, the two-branch
landscape and starting geometries, with its numbers beside the paper's.

Also: a registry that relaxed onto other sites is dropped, not reported
under the requested name; buckling is None where no carbon is atop, so
the sign check cannot pass on an unsigned value; bottom layers are frozen
by height, not by atom count; references are not uploaded when nothing
will run; divergences from the paper are stated in the notebook; the
verdict is printed once; get_compute has a unit test; one artifact name.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The DFT drift check assumed an atop carbon: a correct hollow or bridge
result printed "registry may have drifted", and a slide from atop_fcc to
atop_hcp passed unnoticed, with the paper's two atop rows close enough
that the verdict could read yes for the wrong registry. Both tiers now
compare the sites the relaxed carbons occupy against one table of what
each named registry is; a drifted row is excluded from the verdict and
says so, and buckling is reported only where an atop carbon exists.

… uses them

The registry, layer and relaxation machinery the Gr/Ni notebook carried
inline becomes reusable helpers where helpers belong, organized by what
they act on:

- material/surface_sites.py — SurfaceSiteAnalyzer: the named sites of a
  slab's top surface (atop, bridge, fcc/hcp/hollow) from the geometry of
  the surface layer alone, for any flat surface net; None on a tie or
  off-site point. Checked on eight nets (fcc 111 at 1x1, 2x2 and a rotated
  cell; fcc 100 and 110; hcp 0001; rocksalt 100; bcc 100), which caught
  two bugs the fixture tests had not: atoms on or past the cell boundary
  were filtered rather than wrapped, and the periodic tiling was not
  centred on the home cell. Both fixed; a test on a substrate shifted by
  one whole cell pins them.
- material/layers.py — layer grouping independent of basis order, and
  bottom-layer selection for holding substrate layers fixed.
- mlff/relaxation.py — relax_material: ASE relaxation with fixed atoms and
  z-only motion, returning a copy with only the positions changed, so
  labels and build metadata survive; raises when not converged.

material.py and mlff.py become packages; every existing import keeps
working. Energies, interface parts, interlayer distance and area come
from mat3ra.made functions that already exist. The notebook calls all of
this instead of its own copies — identical results — and cluster
selection is five inline lines again rather than a helper.

A registry on a supercell is a local statement — this film atom over that
substrate site, the rest follow — so the anchor has to be something a
person can name from what a viewer shows: an element near a coordinate,
or an index. material/placement.py provides the pieces separately and
one helper that combines them:

- get_atom_indices(material, element) and get_atom_index(material,
  element, near) — "the Mo near (0.25, 0.25, 0.5)" — resolve to indices
  that describe_atoms lets you check before use.
- place_over(interface, film_atom, substrate_atoms) — one film atom over
  one substrate atom (atop), two (bridge) or three (hollow), by the
  interface's own indices. Periodic images are chosen as the compact set
  that forms the site, not each atom's image nearest the first; atoms
  that are not neighbours of one another are refused against the layer's
  measured nearest-neighbour distance.
- get_film_site_occupation(interface) — which named site each film atom
  sits on; the diagnostic for incommensurate films, where no single
  registry exists (Gr/Ni(001): 24 of 30 carbons on no site whichever
  anchor is moved).

Parts are identified by labels, not build metadata, so relaxed and
file-loaded structures work. The Gr/Ni notebook names its anchor carbon
through the resolver instead of "coordinate 0".

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
get_atom_indices(material, element, coordinate, radius) returns the
atoms of an element within a radius of a point — nearest first, periodic
images included — and get_atom_index returns the one that qualifies or
says how far the nearest actually is. "Nearest, wherever it is" was the
wrong contract: a bounded search is what a person means when they point.
Distances are made's minimum_image_distances, with the element filter and
the bound on top; nothing is re-derived. The notebook names its anchor
carbon with a coordinate and a radius.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ils.mlff

The surface-site analyzer, the point-at-an-atom lookups, the film
placement and the layer helpers now come from mat3ra.made (made#298),
where material geometry belongs; the copies under notebooks_utils/material
are removed. The ASE relaxation keeps its place in notebooks_utils/mlff:
an optimizer is not part of the structure library.

The notebook's registry cell is four statements — the anchor carbon
named by coordinate and radius, the site each registry puts it on, the
resulting shift, and the occupation check that the other carbon landed
where the registry's name says. Results are unchanged to the digit.

config.yml's made profile now lists made's own requirements, so a made
wheel registered in the JupyterLite bundle resolves them as the PyPI
package would. mat3ra-made is pinned to made#298's commit until a
release; the one temporary thing here.

…me the anchor from the film's height

The git pin would have broken notebooks_utils' own PyPI publish on merge, so mat3ra-made goes back
to unversioned; unit tests run against the released made instead of pinning made's own behaviour.
The same-cell references now relax under the interface's z-only/fixed-layers constraint, so the
work of adhesion subtracts like from like instead of a freely relaxed interface against constrained
references. The anchor carbon is named from the film's own measured height rather than a borrowed
constant, the registry occupation check is an assertion instead of a print, and the DFT tier's site
map is read from the relaxed structure's own Ni rather than the pre-relaxation substrate. Leftovers
of the reverted made-extraction design (the empty material/ package, made's own layer-helper tests,
the dead SQUARE_NET fixture, the dev-bundle-only config.yml edit) are removed with it.

…s, close the vacuous slide-guard sentence

The parametrized test passed with the constraint disabled: both fixture rows have no in-plane
force to constrain, so along_z_only was unexercised. A second fixture with one carbon nudged off
its site gives the test something to hold, and the mutation check (`_constraints` disabled) now
fails as it should. The two `slid into a neighbouring registry` sentences (notebook cell 9) claimed
a guard that cannot fire under z-only motion; say what actually holds in this tier and where the
guard is real. `FixAtoms`/`BFGS`/`from_ase` were left over from the inline optimizer this module
replaced.

…o the surviving API

get_closest_site_id_from_coordinate_within_radius and get_atom_indices_in_bottom_layers no
longer exist on made main; use get_closest_site_id_from_coordinate_and_element and inline
get_atom_indices_by_layer slicing instead. The relaxation test now builds its Gr/Ni(111)
fixture the way the companion notebook does, from standata, instead of a hand-written dict.
…, drop nits (tb-review)

The relaxation test built its fixture from an unpinned ZSL match: CI's transitive graph (scipy
1.15.3 vs 1.17.1 here; pymatgen and spglib are identical) resolves a different registry, breaking
the "no in-plane force" assumption. The fixture now forces itself onto the atop_hcp registry the
way cell 7 does — get_closest_site_id_from_coordinate_and_element + SurfaceSiteAnalyzer +
interface_displace_part — and asserts get_film_site_occupation before deriving BOTTOM_NI and
DISPLACED_CARBON from the built structure, no hardcoded indices.

Printed verdicts (both tiers) now match PLAN-addendum-2026-09-01-paper-read.md §3 exactly:
separation +/- 0.05 A, buckling sign-correct and within a factor of 2 of the computed 0.03 A
target — not +/- 0.10 and sign-only.

Cell 32 (55 lines) splits at the readers/usage seam, matching the sibling notebooks' cell-length
convention; cell 11 imports get_atom_indices_by_layer from helpers, alongside the other two
made#298 exports; `area` moves next to its only use.

relaxation.py: the docstring pointed at a function neither made revision has; the slab-protocol
justification belongs to the notebook cell that chooses the constraint, not a generic optimizer.
`calculator` is now typed `ASECalculator`.

Nits: duplicate imports in cells 8 and 10, two "what the alternative does not do" comments in the
parameters cell.
…eleased made

The previous fix built the fixture's registry with SurfaceSiteAnalyzer / get_atom_indices_by_layer /
get_film_site_occupation to make it deterministic, but those three are made#298-only — confirmed
against the released mat3ra_made-2026.8.26.post0 wheel, which has get_closest_site_id_from_coordinate_and_element
but none of the other three. CI installs the released wheel, so that commit could never pass it
(collection-time ImportError, not the original flaky-fixture failure).

Row 0 (`MATERIAL` with no fixed atoms) was the only case that needed the built interface to actually
be a symmetric high-symmetry registry; rows 1-3 hold under any starting geometry, since the z-only
constraint fixes every atom's xy regardless of registry and the displaced-carbon rows only need
*a* carbon and *a* bottom Ni. Dropped row 0, and BOTTOM_NI / DISPLACED_CARBON are now derived from
plain element/label lookups on the built structure (both released-made APIs) instead of the
registry-exact route.

Verified against the actual released wheel: a from-scratch venv with mat3ra-made==2026.8.26.post0
and scipy==1.15.3 pinned to match run-py-tests' resolved version exactly — `pytest tests/py/unit`
passes there too, not just against the made#298 dev worktree.
…cope fix

The four-line "why derived, not pinned" comment in the test and the three-line ANCHOR_SITE
comment in cell 7 both restate what the commit message / dict already say. Cut both.

Lahiri et al. give buckling for the fcc registry only; the DFT-tier verdict was checking it against
PAPER_BUCKLING_FCC for atop_hcp too via a startswith("atop") match. Scoped to atop_fcc, matching the
MACE-tier check it was supposed to mirror. hcp's buckling still prints, just carries no verdict.
Add apply_planewave_cutoffs (workflow.py), get_final_structure_for_job
(core/entity/material/api.py) and label_interface_parts (material.py),
each with one parametrized test. Removes the Gr/Ni SIMULATION
notebook's property_of, total_energy_of, final_structure_of,
dft_geometry, buckling_text and the duplicate carbon_sites_and_buckling
(kept once, renamed film_sites_and_buckling, shared by both tiers) in
favor of these and existing helpers.

… site map

Move label_interface_parts to a leaf core/entity/material/interface.py
(material.py re-exports it) so unit tests importing it no longer pull
in IPython via material.py's io re-export chain, which was failing CI
collection. film_sites_and_buckling now builds its SurfaceSiteAnalyzer
from the interface's own labels instead of cell 7's unrelaxed surface,
so both tiers read the site map against the relaxed Ni. Restore the
one-line buckling_text helper (cell 11), used at its three call sites,
in place of the repeated inline ternary.

The eager re-export pulled mat3ra.made into every import of this
module, including set_materials/get_materials/load_material_from_folder
consumers that don't need it (e.g. the structure notebook, whose
install profile doesn't provision mat3ra-made) -- found by running the
browser harness. label_interface_parts is now resolved lazily via a
module __getattr__, so only DFT-tier code that actually calls it pays
for the made import.

material.py returns to its state at 910e5ce: no re-export, no

yes/no verdict blocks with one table: paper / MACE / DFT columns for
W_adh, separation and buckling, over the paper's three registries plus
bridge, "-" wherever a tier did not run or the paper gives nothing.
Reuses PAPER, PAPER_BUCKLING_FCC, rows, dft_results and buckling_text;
20 lines. Cell 32 is unchanged -- its drifted-registry print stays,
the table just shows the numbers regardless.

mat3ra.utils.jupyterlite.plot was removed from mat3ra-utils (present
in 2025.10.9.post5, absent from every 2026 release) -- those helpers
moved into notebooks_utils. plot_2d_heatmap/plot_3d_surface in
mat3ra.notebooks_utils.ipython.plot._plotly have byte-identical
signatures, and other notebooks on main already import from that path.
This was leaving optimized_material undefined and breaking session 1
of the browser harness.

made 3e229e76 moved get_displacement_to_site/get_site_name to crystal
coordinates by default (use_cartesian_coordinates: bool = False,
matching the rest of made) and renamed SurfaceSiteEnum ->
SurfaceSiteTypesEnum. The registry cell's two get_displacement_to_site
calls work in cartesian throughout (film_at adds its z offset in
Angstrom), so both now pass use_cartesian_coordinates=True. Nothing
else changes; the notebook never referenced SurfaceSiteEnum.

Comparing the branch-boundary candidate against a full-array neighbor from
the other branch could accept a chem/phys split point as a bracketed
minimum on nothing more than an artifact of where CHEMISORBED_BELOW falls.
