Lacking data of structures with defects

Good morning,

I’m relatively new to this project, and just discovered the forum and after some non-satisfactory searching I’ve decided to make a post. Thus, I apologise if the question has been asked before or it is easy to actually get the information I request.

I have been looking for data in materialsproject for structures with defects (for example the structure 4H-SiC with the vacancy v*_si after a DFT-calculation), however, I have yet to discover any. Is there a function for this, or does one have to ‘predict’ a structure with a defect in it?

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

Computing defects are in the scope of the Materials Project, but there is still significant scientific development in progress that is not yet ready for production.
