Electronic Structure & MD Trajectory Analysis

SkillDev tools

Use when the user asks to analyze DOS, band structure, COHP bonding, d-band center, or MD trajectory properties (RDF, RMSD, RMSF, hydrogen bonds, clustering, dimensionality reduction, dihedral angles, planar density).

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Electronic Structure & MD Trajectory Analysis skill

Density of States (DOS)

ToolPurpose
catgo_dos_totalTotal DOS
catgo_dos_computeProjected DOS (PDOS) for atom groups
catgo_dos_dbandD-band center, width, filling (catalysis)
catgo_dos_from_dirLoad DOS from remote HPC directory

PDOS Workflow

  1. Get session_id from file upload or catgo_dos_from_dir
  2. Define atom groups: {"groups": [{"atoms": [0,1,2], "channels": "d", "label": "Surface Pt d"}]}
  3. Call catgo_dos_compute with session_id and groups

Channel syntax: "d", "s,p", "dxy,dz2"

D-Band Analysis

catgo_dos_dband(session_id, atoms=[surface_indices]) — Returns d-band center, width, filling.

  • Higher center = stronger adsorbate binding
  • occupied_only_center=True (default) for occupied d-band center

Band Structure

ToolPurpose
catgo_bands_dataBand energies, k-path, band gap
catgo_bands_projectionsProjected (fat) bands with orbital weights

Report: direct/indirect gap, gap value, high-symmetry labels.

COHP (Bonding Analysis)

catgo_cohp_data — Crystal Orbital Hamilton Population from LOBSTER output.

  • bond_indices: 1-based bond numbers
  • Negative -COHP below Fermi = bonding; positive = antibonding
  • ICOHP = quantitative bond strength

MD Trajectory Analysis

All MD tools accept trajectory_b64 (base64-encoded file) and format (pdb, xyz, extxyz, lammpstrj).

Structural Analysis

ToolPurposeKey Parameters
catgo_md_rdfRadial distribution g(r)pairs, r_range, n_bins
catgo_md_rmsdRMSD over time (stability)ref_frame, atom_indices
catgo_md_rmsfPer-atom fluctuationatom_indices
catgo_md_dihedralsDihedral angle evolutionatom_quartets

Hydrogen Bond Analysis

ToolPurpose
catgo_md_hbondsDetect H-bonds per frame
catgo_md_hbond_lifetimeH-bond lifetime autocorrelation

Methods: baker_hubbard or wernet_nilsson. Default: D-A 3.5 A, D-H-A angle 150 deg.

Conformational Analysis

ToolPurpose
catgo_md_clusteringCluster frames by structural similarity (kmeans/dbscan)
catgo_md_dimreducePCA/t-SNE/UMAP embedding
catgo_md_planar_density2D density map (diffusion analysis)
