Classes

ScineBsplineOptimization()

The job interpolated between two structures.

class scine_puffin.jobs.scine_bspline_optimization.ScineBsplineOptimization[source]¶

The job interpolated between two structures. Generates a transition state guess, optimizes the transition state, and verifies the IRC.

The job performs the following steps: 1. Optimize reactant and product structure. If reactant and product converge to structures with the same graph. Stop and add barrier-less reactions if at least one of the original structures was a flask (+ geometry optimization of the separated structures). Else: 2. Run a B-spline interpolation and optimization to extract an TS guess. 3. Optimize the transition state. 4. See @scine_react_complex_nt2.py for all following steps (Hessian, IRC, …).

Order Name

scine_bspline_optimization

Required Input

The first structures corresponds to the reactants, the second structure to the product.

Optional Settings

Optional settings are read from the settings field, which is part of any Calculation stored in a SCINE Database. All possible settings for this job are based on those available in SCINE ReaDuct. For a complete list see the ReaDuct manual

Given that this job does more than one, in fact many separate calculations it is possible to target each individually with the settings. In order to achieve this each regular setting, such as convergence_max_iterations has to be prepended with a tag, identifying which part of the job it is meant to impact. If the setting is meant to be added to the IRC scan at the end of this job irc_convergence_max_iterations should be used. Note that this may include a doubling of this style of flags, as Readuct uses a similar way of sorting options. Hence, choosing a none default irc_mode in this task has to be done using irc_irc_mode.

The complete list prefixes for specific settings for the steps listed at the start of this section is:

TS optimization: tsopt_*

Validation using an IRC scan: irc_*

Optimization of the structures obtained with the IRC scan : ircopt_*

Optimization of the products and reactants: opt_*

The following settings are recognized without a prepending flag:

add_based_on_distance_connectivitybool: Whether to add the connectivity (i.e. add bonds) as derived from atomic distances when graphs are generated. (default: True)
sub_based_on_distance_connectivitybool: Whether to subtract the connectivity (i.e. remove bonds) as derived from atomic distances when graphs are generated. (default: True)
only_distance_connectivitybool: Whether to impose the connectivity solely from distances. (default: False)
imaginary_wavenumber_thresholdfloat: Threshold value in inverse centimeters below which a wavenumber is considered as imaginary when the transition state is analyzed. Negative numbers are interpreted as imaginary. (default: 0.0)
spin_propensity_checkint: The range to check for possible multiplicities for products. A value of 2 (default) will check triplet and quintet for a singlet and will check singlet, quintet und septet for triplet.

Additionally, all settings that are recognized by the SCF program chosen. are also available. These settings are not required to be prepended with any flag.

Common examples are:

max_scf_iterationsint: The number of allowed SCF cycles until convergence.

store_property(properties: db.Collection, property_name: str, property_type: str, data: Any, model: db.Model, calculation: db.Calculation, structure: db.Structure, replace: bool = True) → db.Property | None¶

Adds a single property into the database, connecting it with a given structure and calculation (it’s results section) and also

Parameters:

propertiesdb.Collection (Scine::Database::Collection): The collection housing all properties.
property_namestr: The name (key) of the new property, e.g. electronic_energy.
property_typestr: The type of property to be added, e.g. NumberProperty.
dataAny (According to ‘property_type’): The data to be stored in the property, the type of this object is dependent on the type of property requested. A NumberProperty will require a float, a VectorProperty will require a List[float], etc.
modeldb.Model (Scine::Database::Model): The model used in the calculation that resulted in this property.
calculationdb.Calculation (Scine::Database::Calculation): The calculation that resulted in this property. The calculation has to be linked to its collection.
structuredb.Structure (Scine::Database::Structure): The structure for which the property is to be added. The properties field of the structure will receive an additional entry, or have an entry replaced, based on the options given to this function. The structure has to be linked to its collection.
replacebool: If true, replaces an existing property (identical name and model) with the new one. This option is true by default. If false, doesnothing in the previous case, and returns None

Returns:

propertyDerived of db.Property (Scine::Database::Property): The property, a derived class of db.Property, linked to the properties’ collection, or None if no property was generated due to duplication.

store_start_structures(start_structure_names: List[str], program_helper: ProgramHelper | None, tsopt_task_name: str, start_structures: List[db.ID] | None = None)¶

Store the new start systems in the database.

Parameters:

start_structure_namesList[str]: The names of the start structure names in the system map.

tsopt_task_namestr: The name of the task where the TS was output
start_structuresOptional[List[db.ID]]: Optional list of the starting structure ids. If no list is given. The input structures of the calculation are used.

Returns:

start_structure_idsList[scine_database.ID]: A list of the database IDs of the start structures.

Notes

May throw exception

success_file() → str¶: Returns the path to the file indicating a successful calculation, empty string if job has not been prepared

surface_indices(structure: db.Structure) → Set[int]¶

surface_indices_all_structures(start_structures: List[db.ID] | None = None) → Set[int]¶

Get the combined surface indices of all structures of the configured calculation except a structure with the label db.Label.SURFACE_ADSORPTION_GUESS. Throws if a structure is specified to be a surface but does not have surface_indices property.

Parameters:

start_structuresOptional[List[db.ID]]: Optional list of the starting structure ids. If no list is given. The input structures of the calculation are used.

Returns:

surface_indicesset: A set of all surface indices over all structures combined assuming an atom ordering identical to the addition of all structures in their order within the calculation.
