Specific Example reproducing the graphene/Ni(111) registry energetics of Dahal & Batzill, Graphene–nickel interfaces: a review, Nanoscale 6, 2548 (2014)SOF-8043, epic SOF-7994.

What it reproduces

claim result article
favourable registry top_fcc top-fcc (Fig. 1b)
chemisorption distance 2.01 Å ~2.1 Å (0.21 nm)
hollow registry does not chemisorb physisorbed only

Absolute adsorption energies are deliberately not compared — the manuscript's come from dispersion-corrected methods beyond semi-local DFT. The notebook compares the registry ordering and the separations, which transfer between methods.

How

Two tiers, so the notebook is useful in minutes and exact when it matters:

  1. MACE-MP + D3, in the browser. The film is placed at top-fcc / top-hcp / bridge-top / hollow — sites measured from the substrate's own top three Ni layers, each registry labelled by where the second carbon sublattice actually lands — then scanned in z. A chemisorbing registry has two minima (chemisorbed ~2 Å, dispersion-bound further out), so the comparison reads the chemisorbed branch and compares each registry at its own minimum. Comparing all registries at one height misranks them.
  2. Platform DFT. One total_energy job per registry at that geometry — PBE, nspin = 2 with a starting moment on Ni, smearing, 12×12×1 (multiple of 3 so K is sampled), vdw_corr = 'grimme-d3', identical cutoffs across all four. A default run submits one job and names the registries to activate; the Cypress feature activates all four.

Introduction.ipynb's Simulation column is filled for the Gr/Ni row.

Change to the structure notebook

It saved only the empirically-optimized variant; it now also saves the base interface, which the simulation notebook loads by name. The simulation notebook raises if that name is missing rather than silently falling back to Standata.

Verification

Fast tier is green end-to-end in JupyterLite, driven by the Cypress feature in the companion web-app PR: provenance, all four registries, all three checks ok.

The DFT tier is not yet verified — every job on the local stack errors with Account … did not sync to node …. That is an environment fault, not this notebook: mqueue-1's celery queue holds 3249 messages with 0 consumers, the RabbitMQ brokers are not clustered, and the cluster's workers connect to a proxy address that is none of them, so publisher and consumer land on different brokers. The stock Silicon total_energy.feature fails identically — its spec passes only because it asserts a label. Details in plan/log/platform.md.

Draft until the DFT tier runs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a simulation notebook for evaluating graphene/Ni(111) interface registry energetics and film–substrate separation.
    • Added registry placement comparisons, energy scans, structural relaxation, adhesion calculations, and optional DFT validation.
    • Linked the simulation notebook from the example structures table.
  • Improvements

    • Updated the optimization workflow to save both the original and optimized interface materials.

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.

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).

Skip selected registries without a relaxed structure.

When a scan has no minimum, scan_results[label]["relaxed"] is None. Line 669 then raises TypeError while reading relaxed["material"]. Skip that registry before persistence. The later if dft_materials guards then skip the DFT tier when no valid registry remains.

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.

Reject invalid site pairs before naming the registry.

site_of() returns None for a tie, but this code inserts that value into pair and calls .pop(). A tie can produce atop_None, select a set member nondeterministically, or raise KeyError for an empty set. Validate the second site and require one of the expected site pairs before deriving the label.

Use branch-local boundaries when accepting minima.

i is an index in the full distances array. The condition only rejects full-scan endpoints. It can accept the last chem point or the first phys point as a local minimum by comparing across the CHEMISORBED_BELOW boundary. This can select the wrong relaxation branch.

Use indices within in_branch and require the selected point to have neighbors inside that same branch.

Do not compare absolute adsorption energies in the MACE verdict.

This table and mace_reproduces compare MACE W_adh values with the paper. The PR objective says that the fast tier must not compare absolute adsorption energies. Restrict the MACE verdict to supported checks such as separation, ordering, and qualitative registry behavior. Do not print a MACE “reproduces Table 1” claim based on W_adh.

Also applies to: 498-502

Handle registries without published targets.

PAPER has no "bridge" entry. If bridge has no relaxed result, this loop evaluates PAPER["bridge"] and raises KeyError. Use PAPER.get(label) and print that no published target is available.

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.
