| binding-energy-crystal | Equilibrium crystal structure and binding potential energy at zero temperature and applied stress |
Equilibrium structure and energy of a crystal at zero temperature and applied stress. The equilibrium structure is expressed as an AFLOW prototype label and its corresponding free parameters. The equilibrium may be stable or unstable (not reported in this property). Multiple instances of this property with different free parameters may be reported for a given AFLOW prototype label, representing different stable or unstable equilibria. There is no guarantee that any instance of this property is the ground state of this system, not even when the configuration space is restricted to the specified crystal prototype label. The reported binding potential energy is the energy required to decompose the solid into its individual constituent particles isolated from each other. This is defined as the energy of the crystal less the energies of the isolated constituent particles. Two values are reported, the `binding-potential-energy-per-atom` is the average energy per atom in the unit cell, the `binding-potential-energy-per-formula` is the energy per chemical formula, which reflects the relative ratio of elements in the primitive unit cell of the crystal. For a crystal containing a single chemical element (regardless of structure) this is the same as the `binding-potential-energy-per-atom`, e.g. for hcp Mg the chemical formula is Mg and the 'binding-potential-energy-per-formula' is per magnesium atom (even though the hcp primitive unit cell contains two atoms). For compounds the 'binding-potential-energy-per-formula' will depend on the stoichiometric formula, e.g. for MoS_2 (AB2-type compound) the energy is per MoS_2 unit (i.e. 3 times larger than the `binding-potential-energy-per-atom` value). The reported energies are actual energies (not the negative of the energy as commonly reported), therefore these values will be negative for a crystal that is more stable than its isolated constituents. |

| gamma-surface-relaxed-fcc-crystal-npt | The relaxed gamma surface created by rigid slip of a (111) plane on a grid of points defined by [112] and [-110] directions in a monoatomic fcc crystal at zero temperature and a given pressure | The relaxed energy-per-area versus all possible slips lying in the (111) lattice plane defines the Gamma surface. Due to periodicity of the crystal lattice, it suffices to sample a grid of points that span a*sqrt(6)/2 and a*sqrt(2)/2 along the [112] and [-110] directions, respectively. This is achieved through a sequence of rigid displacements applied to one part of an fcc crystal relative to another on the (111) plane on a grid defined by the [112] and [-110] directions at zero temperature and a specified pressure. Following each slip displacement, a relaxation of the atomic coordinates is performed in the direction perpendicular to the slip plane to arrive at the energy-per-area. | Results 315 |
