SOF-7975: defect formation energy across charge states and supercell sizes by VsevolodX · Pull Request #366 · mat3ra/api-examples

VsevolodX · 2026-09-12T01:40:26Z

Closes SOF-7975.

Adds a notebook that runs the Defect Formation Energy workflow across charge states and
supercell sizes, and turns the results into the two plots the ATK
charged-defects tutorial
shows. defect_formation_energy.ipynb is untouched — this is a new notebook alongside it, per
the ticket discussion.

What it does

One job per (supercell size, charge state). The pristine cell is scaled first and the defect
placed into each supercell, so every size holds the same isolated defect at the same site.

The platform's defect_formation_energy property is the raw value — the workflow formula
(standata/.../defect_formation_energy.yml) is TE_FOR_MATERIAL − E_PRISTINE − Σ ΔN·μ, with no
charge term. The notebook adds the electron-reservoir term itself, as the ATK page does:

E_f[X^q](μ_e) = E_f_raw[X^q] + q (E_VBM + μ_e),   0 ≤ μ_e ≤ E_gap

E_VBM and E_gap come from a Band Gap job on the pristine supercell; q is written into the
defective-cell SCF as tot_charge. §7.2 plots one line per charge state with the stable-charge
envelope and prints the transition levels; §7.3 fits E_f(L) = E∞ + a/L + b/L³ across sizes,
standing in for an analytical finite-size correction (Freysoldt/FNV is out of scope — it needs
pp.x potentials and a dielectric constant, i.e. new workflow units).

Pristine total energy and band gap are reused when the material already carries them and computed
otherwise, so no other notebook has to be run first.

Files

File	Why
`other/materials_designer/workflows/defect_formation_energy_charged.ipynb`	new — the deliverable
`other/materials_designer/workflows/Introduction.ipynb`	+1 index row under §6.5
`src/py/mat3ra/notebooks_utils/core/entity/property/api.py`	`find_total_energy_for_material` generalised to `find_property_for_material(client, material_id, property_name, source)`; the old name kept as a one-line delegate. Needed because the pristine `band_gaps` resolves exactly the way the total energy already did.
`tests/py/unit/core/entity/test_property_api_find_total_energy_for_material.py`	one parametrised case over `total_energy` / `band_gaps`

Verification

Unit test:

$ agents/workdir/venv/bin/pytest tests/py/unit/core/entity/test_property_api_find_total_energy_for_material.py -q
9 passed in 1.11s

(baseline on this branch point was 7.) Reverting either library hunk breaks collection, so both
are load-bearing.

The notebook's own cells were exercised offline — nbformat.validate, every code cell parses, and:

n=2 → 16-atom pristine / 15-atom defective; n=3 → 54 / 53, defect coordinate ÷ n lands on the same site at every size.
tot_charge signs: q=+1 → tot_charge = 1, q=−1 → -1, q=−2 → -2, q=0 → absent.
k-grid density held fixed: SCF_KGRID=[8,8,8] → [4,4,4] at n=2, [2,2,2] at n=3.
§7.2 against the ATK page: fed E_f_raw = ATK_at_0 − q·E_VBM, it returns ATK's
3.04 / 3.22 / 3.56 / 4.23 / 5.18 eV to machine precision and reproduces the page's own
stability windows — +1 below 0.18 eV, neutral 0.19–0.34, negatives from 0.35 (ATK: "≈ 0.35–0.4").
§7.3: on synthetic E∞ + q²(a/L + b/L³) over three sizes it recovers E∞, a, b exactly,
with a(−2)/a(−1) = 4.0 (the q² image-charge scaling).

Draft — what is still open

The end-to-end run against a live platform has not happened yet (blocked on an OIDC
device-flow approval on the local instance). Still unexercised: the elemental-reference lookup,
get_or_create_material, the reuse-or-create prerequisite branch, job creation/submission, and
whether band_gaps really comes back from a material-keyed lookup after a finished Band Gap job.
That last path was read in web-app (PropertyDAO.createWithRelated sets slug = data.name;
PropertiesCreate sets exabyteId from the job's structures) but not run.

Nothing temporary is pinned in this branch — no wheels, no preview URLs, no file: deps.

…ergy Charged-defect formation energy needs the pristine supercell's band_gaps for E_VBM and the mu_e range, resolved the same way the total energy already is. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

One job per (supercell size, charge state): the charge is written into the defective-cell SCF as tot_charge, and the k-grid is scaled with the supercell so the k-point density is fixed. Adds the electron-reservoir term the workflow does not carry, q(E_VBM + mu_e), giving formation energy against the electron chemical potential with the stable charge state and the transition levels, and extrapolates the image-charge error away over the sizes in place of an analytical finite-size correction. The pristine total energy and band gap are reused when the material already carries them and computed otherwise, so no notebook has to be run first.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a charged-defect formation energy notebook, links it from the introduction notebook, and generalizes material property lookup with owner scoping while preserving total-energy lookup compatibility.

Changes

Charged defect formation energy

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Generic property lookup support `src/py/mat3ra/notebooks_utils/core/entity/property/api.py`, `tests/py/unit/core/entity/test_property_api.py`	The property API accepts a property name and optional owner scope. The existing total-energy function delegates to the generic lookup. Tests cover default and explicit owner filters.
Material and workflow setup `other/materials_designer/workflows/defect_formation_energy_charged.ipynb`, `other/materials_designer/workflows/Introduction.ipynb`	The notebook loads pristine materials, builds scaled pristine and defective pairs, resolves elemental references, saves materials, configures scaled workflows, and adds an introduction link.
Job execution and result analysis `other/materials_designer/workflows/defect_formation_energy_charged.ipynb`	The notebook validates pristine reference k-grids, submits reference and charged-defect jobs, retrieves formation energies, plots complete charge-state stability results, and fits finite-size extrapolations.

Properties inherit their job's owner, so under an organization the my_account scope could never see what this notebook had just created: section 6.1 rebuilt the reference jobs every run and 7.2 then subscripted None. find_property_for_material takes the account the jobs are created under. Section 7 carried errored jobs into the analysis, where a missing value raised mid-plot or fitted to nan and rendered as a table. Sections 7.2 and 7.3 now read the finished jobs only, as equation_of_state.ipynb already does, and say how many were dropped. Also: the b/L^3 term is fitted only with four or more sizes, three being square; the size fit reports E_f at the VBM so it lands on 7.2's scale; the k-grid rounds instead of flooring [4,4,4] at n=3 to a Gamma-only grid; and the missing-elemental error was not an f-string. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The workflow does not read E_PRISTINE from a material property. It finds the most recent finished job whose name matches "Total Energy" and takes that job's total_energy (shell/fetch_bulk_total_energy). Section 6.1 checked for a property instead, on a different key with no owner notion, so a property that existed without such a job -- public or curated, which cell 6 documents as a supported source -- made it skip the job the workflow needs, and every defect job then failed its assertion. The total-energy check now queries jobs the same way; the band gap stays a property lookup, because section 7.2 reads it as one. The k-grid docstring no longer claims a constant density it cannot hold: the rounded grid bottoms out at Gamma-only, and it is now printed per job. A missing band gap warns and skips 7.2 rather than raising, which had made 7.3 -- which needs no band gap -- unreachable under Run All. eigenvalueValence is optional in the schema and is no longer dereferenced unconditionally. Also: the previous commit's markdown had doubled backslashes in the 7.3 LaTeX; submit_jobs is guarded like the wait beside it; the workflow rename carries a note that the "Total Energy" prefix is load-bearing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…what is reused fetch_bulk_total_energy is two queries, not one: the most recent finished job named "Total Energy", then that job's total_energy restricted to the qe: group. Only the first was mirrored, and total_energy.ipynb writes the same workflow name for vasp and nwchem -- so a prior VASP run on the same structure made section 6.1 skip, and the defect jobs then failed the assertion after the SCF. The reuse branch printed nothing identifying what it reused. A reference computed at a different k-grid is the one silent way these numbers go wrong, so it names the job. Two documentation claims were wrong. The k-grid does not hold the density fixed once the divided grid reaches 1, which cell 6 and section 4.2 both still asserted; and PRISTINE_PROPERTY_SOURCE no longer governs the total energy at all, only the band gap -- believing otherwise is what produced the earlier defect.

figure.show() resolves plotly's default renderer, which is "browser" whenever there is no kernel to draw into -- so running these cells outside a notebook pops a tab instead of plotting. render_figure is the helper the corpus already uses for this (analyze_convex_hull.ipynb): IPython.display under Pyodide, the kernel's own renderer otherwise. Verified under a real ipykernel: the cell emits display_data with mime type application/vnd.plotly.v1+json -- the live plotly bundle, so the legend stays clickable and hover labels keep working, in JupyterLite as well.

The Cypress feature points the notebook at a seeded fixture material, which folder-then-Standata could not reach. Restores the three-way lookup the sibling notebook already has, and which the review asked for. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

… reuse k-grid The lower envelope in 7.2 is a comparison between charge states, so plotting a size where one of them failed reports the wrong stable charge. It now picks the largest size that has every value in CHARGES, and skips the section when none does -- skips rather than raises, so 7.3, which needs neither the band gap nor a complete set, still runs under Run All. Reusing a reference computed at another k-grid is the quiet way these numbers go wrong: E_PRISTINE and E_VBM would come from a different sampling than the defective cell they are subtracted from. Section 6.1 now compares the existing job's grid against scf_kgrid_for(scaling) and recomputes on a mismatch. Only an explicit SCF_KGRID can be compared; the KPPRA default adapts per material.
