System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps researchers quickly access and compare materials data across MP and AFLOW, enabling structure retrieval, property queries, and cross-database comparisons without leaving the chat.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Query MP and AFLOW data: by formula, elements, properties, and stability
  • Structure retrieval and formats: download CIF, POSCAR, JSON
  • Cross-database comparisons: compare band gaps, energies, stability metrics
  • Examples: find structure mp-149, download CIF; screen for stable oxides with band gaps 1-4 eV

Quick Start

Ask to fetch a structure for mp-149 and save as CIF or search for materials with band gaps between 2-3 eV.
