Interstitial

class Interstitial(specie=None, defect_site=None, bulk_structure=None, charge=None, multiplicity=None, bulk_volume=None, label=None)

Bases: Defect

Subclass of Defect for interstitial defects.

Base class for defect objets.

Parameters:

• specie (str) – Defect element symbol.

• defect_site (Site) – Pymatgen Site object of the defect.

• bulk_structure (Structure) – Pymatgen Structure without defects.

• charge (int or float) – Charge of the defect.

• multiplicity (int) – Multiplicity of defect within the simulation cell.

• bulk_volume (float) – Volume of bulk cell in A°^3.

• label (str) – Defect label.
