Schema Field Definitions (21)
| Field Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| chemical_formula | string | The standardized chemical formula of the calculated perovskite material (e.g., CsPbI3, MAPbI3, BaTiO3). Exclude non-perovskite phases or generic placeholder labels. |
| perovskite_type | string | The structural classification of the perovskite. Must be one of: halide, oxide, chalcogenide, double_perovskite, 2D_layered, hybrid_organic_inorganic, other. Return null when the paper does not provide enough information to select one. |
| crystal_system | string | The crystal system of the optimized structure (e.g., cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, rhombohedral, monoclinic, triclinic). Exclude unrelaxed starting structures if distinct. |
| space_group | string | The Hermann-Mauguin space group symbol or space group number of the computed ground-state perovskite phase (e.g., Pm-3m, I4/mcm, Pnma). |
| lattice_parameter_a | number | The optimized or calculated lattice parameter 'a' of the unit cell. |
| lattice_parameter_a_unit | string | The unit associated with lattice parameter 'a', exactly as reported in the paper (e.g., Angstrom, nm, Bohr). |
| lattice_parameter_b | number | The optimized or calculated lattice parameter 'b' of the unit cell. |
| lattice_parameter_b_unit | string | The unit associated with lattice parameter 'b', exactly as reported in the paper. |
| lattice_parameter_c | number | The optimized or calculated lattice parameter 'c' of the unit cell. |
| lattice_parameter_c_unit | string | The unit associated with lattice parameter 'c', exactly as reported in the paper. |
| dft_software_code | string | The name and version of the DFT software package used to perform the calculation (e.g., VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, CASTEP, WIEN2k, ABINIT). |
| exchange_correlation_functional | string | The specific exchange-correlation functional used in the DFT simulation (e.g., PBE, PBEsol, HSE06, B3LYP, SCAN, LDA). |
| spin_orbit_coupling_included | boolean | True if spin-orbit coupling (SOC) was enabled in the specific DFT calculation; false otherwise. |
| hubbard_u_applied | boolean | True if a Hubbard U correction (DFT+U) was applied to any atomic orbital; false otherwise. |
| van_der_waals_correction | string | The method or dispersion scheme used to account for van der Waals interactions (e.g., DFT-D2, DFT-D3, optB88-vdW, none). Return null if not mentioned or not applied. |
| calculated_band_gap | number | The numerical magnitude of the electronic band gap computed from the DFT calculation. Exclude experimental or literature reference values. |
| calculated_band_gap_unit | string | The unit associated with the calculated band gap, exactly as reported in the paper (e.g., eV, meV). |
| band_gap_nature | string | The nature of the electronic band gap transition. Must be one of: direct, indirect. Return null when the paper does not specify. |
| formation_energy | number | The calculated ground-state formation energy or enthalpy of the perovskite compound. Exclude experimental values. |
| formation_energy_unit | string | The unit associated with the formation energy, exactly as reported in the paper (e.g., eV/atom, eV/f.u., kJ/mol). |
| is_thermodynamically_stable | boolean | True if the calculation determines the phase to be thermodynamically stable (e.g., on the convex hull or energy above hull = 0); false if metastable or unstable. |
Data Verification Status Taxonomy
To maintain rigorous scientific standards, Sci-database differentiates between automated signals and human audit:
Value located and extracted from the full-text PDF by the Kateeb engine.
An independent second model produced a compatible value during automated second-pass review.
A named researcher audited the value against the visual page coordinates.
Performance evaluated against a standardized, published evaluation protocol.
An independent external research group reproduced the extraction and experimental result.
