Surface & Catalysis Workflow

Surface Slab Generation

  1. Start with a bulk crystal (fetch or use current)
  2. catgo_generate_slab with miller_index as [h, k, l]
    • Defaults: min_slab_size=10.0 A, min_vacuum_size=15.0 A
    • Returns all symmetrically distinct terminations
  3. Inspect result with catgo_structure_info

Miller index selection:

SurfaceMiller IndexCommon Use
FCC (111)[1,1,1]Close-packed, catalysis
FCC (100)[1,0,0]Open surface
BCC (110)[1,1,0]Close-packed
Rutile (110)[1,1,0]TiO2 catalysis
Perovskite (001)[0,0,1]ABO3 surfaces

Adsorbate Placement

  1. catgo_adsorption_sites — Find top, bridge, hollow sites. height default 2.0 A.
  2. catgo_adsorption_place — Place adsorbate at chosen site coordinates.

Get adsorbate molecules via catgo_fetch_molecule:

  • CO, CO2, H2O, NH3, O2, CH4, etc.

Surface Passivation

catgo_passivate — Cap dangling bonds with pseudo-hydrogen on slab bottom surface. Requires both slab and bulk reference structure dicts.

Water Layer

catgo_water_layer — Add TIP4P water layer for solid/liquid interface models. Parameters: z_start, z_end, min_distance (overlap removal), equilibrate (optional LAMMPS).

Heterostructure & Interface

ZSL Lattice Matching (Two-Step)

  1. catgo_hetero_search — Find lattice-matched substrate/film pairs
  2. catgo_hetero_build — Build interface from selected match

One-Step Interface

catgo_hetero_build_intermat — Simpler pipeline, less control but faster prototyping.

Moire Bilayer

  1. catgo_moire_search — Find commensurate twist angles with supercell sizes
  2. catgo_moire_build — Build bilayer at selected angle

Complete Catalysis Recipe

  1. catgo_fetch_crystal (bulk, e.g. Pt)
  2. catgo_generate_slab (miller_index=[1,1,1], min_slab_size=12, min_vacuum_size=15)
  3. catgo_passivate (bottom surface)
  4. catgo_adsorption_sites (find sites)
  5. catgo_fetch_molecule (get adsorbate)
  6. catgo_adsorption_place (place at chosen site)
  7. catgo_structure_info (verify)
  8. Generate DFT input (see computational-input skill)

One-shot recipes for adding, deleting, moving, and replacing individual atoms in the active CatGo viewer structure. Use whenever the user asks to "add an atom", "delete atoms", "remove this atom", "move atom N", "replace H with Li", or any single-atom edit — including "add a hydrogen on top of atom 12" / "delete atoms 5–9" / "swap the oxygen at site 3 for fluorine". Skips the discovery loop (no need to list structure tools or check adsorption sites first); goes straight to the matching `catgo_structure` action. Triggers in Chinese on 加原子, 删原子, 减原子, 移动原子, 替换原子, 增加氢, 删除氧, 把 ... 换成 ....
