Introduction

The stacking_fault_map_2D calculation style evaluates the full 2D generalized stacking fault map for an array of shifts along a specified crystallographic plane. A regular grid of points is established and the generalized stacking fault energy is evaluated at each.

Version notes

2018-07-09: Notebook added.
2019-07-30: Description updated and small changes due to iprPy version.
2020-05-22: Version 0.10 update - potentials now loaded from database.
2020-09-22: Calculation updated to use atomman.defect.StackingFault class. Setup and parameter definition streamlined.

Disclaimers

NIST disclaimers
The system’s dimension perpendicular to the fault plane should be large to minimize the interaction of the free surface and the stacking fault.
