Wish list of future features:


  • Random structure prediction between layers
  • Restarting the interface calculations, and using the energy landscape to calculate the optimal in plane shift for the interface.
  • Create defects
  • Improved swapping and intermixing at the interface
  • Output files for (i) VASP, (ii) CRYSTAL14, (iii) Quantum Espresso, (iv) CASTEP.
  • Restart and calculate optimal slab thickness to minimise interlayer interaction - additional study based on CAD to explore this.
  • Non-periodic interfaces
  • Elastic coefficients from bulk to calculate optimal lattice matching (in particular, the strain-lattice constant ratio).
  • How to calculate "third" axis optimal length a-priori.
  • Evaluate strain matrix to calculate the energy of formation of the interface.
  • Using strained systems to calculate the energy when the interface "breaks"
  • Add a surface classification
  • Add a vacuum for non-isotropic materials that form interfaces
  • Add a surface reconstruction estimate for advanced systems such as GaAs (see beta 2x4 surfaces and the like).
