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 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.

dislocation-core-energy-cubic-crystal-npt Dislocation core energy of a cubic crystal at zero temperature and a given stress state The dislocation core energy is a mathematical construct designed to remove the singularity in the stress and strain fields of elasticity theory. The total strain energy is computed relative to the cohesive energy of the ideal crystal, and the core energy is the portion of this energy that is not accounted for by an elastic model. In this property, the dislocation core energy for cubic crystals at zero temperature and a given stress state is reported using three different elastic models: nonsingular, isotropic, and anisotropic. Each of these core energies is computed for a range of dislocation core cutoff radii and is given in units of energy per unit dislocation line length. Results 3

energy-and-crystal-structure-vs-hydrostatic-pressure-relation Energy and crystal structure as a function of hydrostatic pressure for an arbitrary crystal Energy and crystal structure as a function of hydrostatic pressure for an arbitrary crystal. It is expected that the values reported are computed under load boundary conditions and not displacement boundary conditions. This means, for example, that in a noncubic crystal, simply isotropically expanding and shrinking the crystal would not be an acceptable way to compute this property except for cubic crystals. The crystal structure is expressed as an AFLOW prototype label and its corresponding free parameters. The crystal must not transform away from the symmetry specified in this property at any of the reported pressure-energy-structure points. Because of this, only a single prototype label is reported. However, because both the internal and unit cell free parameters may change, they are reported as arrays, with values for each pressure step. Results 1154

extrinsic-stacking-fault-relaxed-energy-fcc-crystal-npt Relaxed extrinsic stacking fault energy for a monoatomic fcc crystal at a zero temperature and a given pressure The extrinsic stacking fault (ESF) energy for a monoatomic fcc crystal at zero temperature and a specified pressure.

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 505
gibbs-free-energy-crystal Gibbs free energy of an abritrary crystal at constant temperature and stress state Gibbs free energy of an arbrary crystal at constant temperature and stress state. The crystal structure is expressed as an AFLOW prototype label and its corresponding free parameters. The reported Gibbs free energy is defined as the Gibbs free energy of the crystal less the potential energy of the isolated constituent particles.


Three values are reported, the `gibbs-free-energy-per-atom` is the average Gibbs free energy per atom in the unit cell, the `gibbs-free-energy-per-formula` is the Gibbs free energy per chemical formula, which reflects the relative ratio of elements in the primitive unit cell of the crystal, and the `specific-gibbs-free-energy` which is the Gibbs free energy per unit of mass. For a crystal containing a single chemical element (regardless of structure) the `-per-atom` and `-per-formula` values are the same, e.g. for hcp Mg the chemical formula is Mg and the 'gibbs-free-energy-per-formula' is per magnesium atom (even though the hcp primitive unit cell contains two atoms). For compounds the 'gibbs-free-energy-per-formula' will depend on the stoichiometric formula, e.g. for MoS_2 (AB2-type compound) the free energy is per MoS_2 unit (i.e. 3 times larger than the `gibbs-free-energy-per-atom` value).
