Method background

Phase diagrams

This utility uses the qhull algorithm to create phase diagrams for arbitrary regions of phase space. Depending on the dimensionality of the requested phase diagram, different plots are made.

Formation energies

The formation energies supplied to this tool were calculated using elemental reference states which are a combination of DFT total energies of elemental phases, fit to experimental formation energies (the gases, and ionic solids), corrected to remove the effects of DFT+U.
