pymatgen.analysis.defects.dilute_solution_model module

check_input(def_list)

compute_defect_density(structure, e0, vac_defs, antisite_defs, T=800, trial_chem_pot=None, plot_style=u'highcharts')

Wrapper for the dilute_solution_model. The computed plot data is prepared based on plot_style.

Parameters:

• structure – pymatgen.core.structure.Structure object representing the primitive or unitcell of the crystal.
• e0 – The total energy of the undefected system. This is E0 from VASP calculation.
• vac_defs – List of vacancy defect parameters in the dictionary format. The keys of the dict associated with each vacancy defect are 1) site_index, 2) site_specie, 3) site_multiplicity, and 4) energy. 1-3 can be obtained from pymatgen.analysis.defects.point_defects.Vacancy class. Site index is expected to start with 1 (fortran index).
• antisite_defs – List of antisite defect parameters in the dictionary format. The keys of the dict associated with each antisite defect are 1) site_index, 2) site_specie, 3) site_multiplicity, 4) substitution_specie, and 5) energy. 1-3 can be obtained from pymatgen.analysis.defects.point_defects.Vacancy class.
• T – Temperature in Kelvin
• trial_chem_pot (optional) – Trial chemical potentials to speedup the plot generation. Format is {el1:mu1,…}
• plot_style (string) – Allowed options are 1) highcharts (default) 2) gnuplot

Returns:

The plot data is generated and returned in asked format.

solute_defect_density(structure, e0, vac_defs, antisite_defs, solute_defs, solute_concen=0.01, T=800, trial_chem_pot=None, plot_style=u'highchargs')

Wrapper for the solute_site_preference_finder. The computed plot data is prepared based on plot_style.

Parameters:

• structure – pymatgen.core.structure.Structure object representing the primitive or unitcell of the crystal.
• e0 – The total energy of the undefected system. This is E0 from VASP calculation.
• vac_defs – List of vacancy defect parameters in the dictionary format. The keys of the dict associated with each vacancy defect are 1) site_index, 2) site_specie, 3) site_multiplicity, and 4) energy. 1-3 can be obtained from pymatgen.analysis.defects.point_defects.Vacancy class. Site index is expected to start with 1 (fortran index).
• antisite_defs – List of antisite defect parameters in the dictionary format. The keys of the dict associated with each antisite defect are 1) site_index, 2) site_specie, 3) site_multiplicity, 4) substitution_specie, and 5) energy. 1-3 can be obtained from pymatgen.analysis.defects.point_defects.Vacancy class.
• solute_defs – List of solute defect parameters in the dictionary format. Similary to that of antisite defs, wtih solute specie specified in substitution_specie
• solute_concen – Solute concentration (in fractional value)
• T – Temperature in Kelvin
• trial_chem_pot (optional) – Trial chemical potentials to speedup the plot generation. Format is {el1:mu1,…}
• plot_style (string) – Allowed options are 1) highcharts (default) 2) gnuplot

Returns:

The plot data is generated and returned in asked format.
