Atomic force (property)

This page documents an OPTIMADE Property Definition. See https://schemas.optimade.org/ for more information.

ID: https://schemas.httk.org/defs/v0.1/properties/core/atomic_force
Definition name: atomic_force

Property name: Atomic force
Description: The force on one atom (the negative gradient of the energy with respect to the position of the atom), in electronvolt per angstrom, as a vector over dim_spatial in the Cartesian frame of the structure it belongs to. This property is the base of force statistics: a statistic of it (such as an error or a bias over a population of atoms) has the same shape, one value per Cartesian component. A null value means the quantity is not available or not recorded.
Type: list
Implementation requirements:
- Support: OPTIONAL support in implementations, i.e., MAY be null.

Formats: [JSON] [MD]
