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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>

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 <[email protected]>
…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).

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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>

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.

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.

We need a helper function to find coordinates for high-symmetry registries based on lattice types + miller indices
Reply via ReviewNB
…elpers Five modules in notebooks_utils, generic rather than shaped to one notebook, because the specific-examples corpus needs each of them repeatedly: - surface: named high-symmetry adsorption sites — atop, bridge, and the fcc and hcp hollows told apart by which subsurface layer lies beneath, a distinction pymatgen's AdsorbateSiteFinder does not make. Delaunay over the tiled surface layer, so it holds for any lattice and Miller index whose surface is flat within a tolerance, for films and for passivation. - relaxation: relax with the deepest layers held and, optionally, motion along z only, so a structure cannot slide out of its registry. Replaces a to_ase/FixAtoms/BFGS block written by hand in three notebooks already. - energetics: energy from a calculator, in-plane area, and work of adhesion in J/m^2 from same-cell references. - interface: film/substrate split, separation, corrugation. - compute: cluster selection that says what is wrong when none is registered, instead of IndexError from clusters[0] — the pattern in eight merged workflow notebooks. get_site_of returns None when two sites are equidistant rather than resolving by dict order; an ambiguous label is how a structure gets reported under the wrong registry. relax carries build metadata across the ASE round-trip, and get_interface_separation accepts the substrate elements, because the round trip otherwise strips what interface_get_part needs and measuring a relaxed interface raises. The Gr/Ni notebook uses all five: 534 code lines when this review round started, 376 now, with identical results to the digit. Also fixes two CodeRabbit findings on #364 — a registry with no relaxed structure is skipped before persistence, and cluster selection is guarded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>

💡 Result:
In ASE 3.25.0, the run method of the BFGS optimizer (and other optimizers inheriting from the base Optimizer class) returns a boolean value indicating whether the optimization converged [1][2]. The run method performs the structure optimization until the forces on all atoms are less than the specified fmax (force convergence criterion) or until the maximum number of steps is reached [1]. Technical details: - Return Value: Returns True if the optimization converged (all atomic forces are below fmax) and False otherwise [1][2]. - fmax: This is an optional argument (default is typically 0.05 eV/Å) defining the force convergence threshold [1][3]. - steps: This is an optional argument defining the maximum number of optimization steps to perform [1][3]. As of version 3.25.0, the run method specifically respects the steps=0 argument, which allows for performing zero steps of optimization [4].

Fail when BFGS does not converge.
BFGS.run() returns False when max_steps is reached before fmax. The current code ignores this result and returns the unconverged structure to callers. Raise an error when convergence fails.
Proposed fix
- BFGS(atoms).run(fmax=fmax, steps=max_steps)
+ converged = BFGS(atoms).run(fmax=fmax, steps=max_steps)
+ if not converged:
+ raise RuntimeError(f"Relaxation did not converge within {max_steps} steps")📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Use the seed height for each layer.
_layers supports slabs and interfaces whose surface layer is flat within layer_tolerance, but group[0][2] depends on input order rather than the z value that created the group. If a layer member is near the 0.5 Å boundary, this comparison can skip the next distinct layer. _hollow_name can then inspect the wrong subsurface layer and swap the fcc/hcp result.
Proposed fix
layers: List[np.ndarray] = []
+ layer_heights = []
for z in sorted(coordinates[:, 2], reverse=True):
- if any(abs(z - group[0][2]) < tolerance for group in layers):
+ if any(abs(z - layer_z) < tolerance for layer_z in layer_heights):
continue
layers.append(coordinates[np.abs(coordinates[:, 2] - z) < tolerance])
+ layer_heights.append(z)📝 Committable suggestion

In `@src/py/mat3ra/notebooks_utils/surface.py` at line 18, Update the layer
comparison in the relevant surface-layer logic to use each layer’s seed
height—the z value that created the layer—instead of the input-order-dependent
group[0][2]. Preserve the existing tolerance check while ensuring boundary-near
members are compared against the correct seed so _hollow_name receives the
correct subsurface layer.

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
top_fccAbsolute 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:
total_energyjob per registry at that geometry — PBE,nspin = 2with 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'sceleryqueue 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 Silicontotal_energy.featurefails identically — its spec passes only because it asserts a label. Details inplan/log/platform.md.Draft until the DFT tier runs.
