@AndresOrtegaGuerrero AndresOrtegaGuerrero commented Dec 16, 2023

When using HubbardStructureData with PwBandsStructure the workchain doesnt use the hubbard information.
Since it calls seekpath , the information is lost.

Additionally the HubbardStructureData has a bug for StructureData with periodicity 1d and 2d.

This PR addresses these two issues , #999

Thanks @AndresOrtegaGuerrero. I am wondering if then all the methods are working as expected. Could you please provide some tests and/or examples, with some structure? I think there should be already some fixtures for 2D. It is important that the functions work, and in the intended behaviour. Here, it is not clear if your fix is going to work out.

Hi @bastonero , The 2D and 1D is already working at the PwBaseWorkChain (like the sampling of k-points) we did these with @mbercx. Regarding the PwBandsWorkChain, this branch manage to fix the bug. Another test is the PdosWorkChain that works without no problems with HubbardStructureData. Is also tested in the AiiDAlab qe app (aiidalab/aiidalab-qe#577)

@AndresOrtegaGuerrero thanks! I suggest to add a get_primitive_structure to HubbardStructureData and call it to extract the bind information from a single HubbardStructureData object. See the comment below.

I am not super familiar what habbard_info contains, maybe it doesn't relate to whether the structure is primitive or not. So the change may not needed.

I think it should be able to create a temp structure directly with StructureData (https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/blob/06ea130df8854f621e25853af6ac723c37397ed0/src/aiida/orm/nodes/data/structure.py#L1592) instead of through ase structure.

What will happened if the pbc is not 3D? It will raise an error or it will give the wrong results afterwards?

moreover, this is lacking of a test asserting that the pymatgen module would work fine and produce the expected translation vectors, crucial for intersite parameters. and, very important, we should not lose the kind names and anything while doing structuredata --> ase --> structuredata, so that's why the approach i suggested in the previous comment. when used with only onsite hubbard U it can be fine, but the all point here is indeed to have the V parameters set correctly with translation vectors, so please add a careful test, otherwise this would break the implementation for extended Hubbard parameters

No I mean using as less structure type as possible.
With your implementation, the structure type used are HubbardStructureData -> asc structure -> StructureData -> pymatgen structure. However, the purpose here is to get the sites which are information that should include in the StructureData.

I think we should try our best to not use ase/pymatgen, at least should try to not add more dependent on those. I want to see @mbercx's opinion on it.

Thanks for the ping @unkcpz.

I see your point that going through ASE to get a StructureData again to then get a pymatgen structure seems very roundabout, but I understand why @AndresOrtegaGuerrero did it.

The issue is that get_pymatgen() would not work since it would return a pymatgen Molecule, and get_pymatgen_structure() fails since that only allows periodic boundary conditions... Ideally this would actually be possible. I don't immediately understand why StructureData doesn't allow it, since a pymatgen Structure can also e.g. have (True, False, False) periodic boundary conditions. I'll open an issue on aiida-core to discuss this, but that'll take time.

Unfortunately, it's also not so easy to get an (unstored) copy of a StructureData directly. We could avoid using ASE in another way though. In the end the only thing the method needs is the sites, so the following should work for structures of any dimension:

from pymatgen.core import PeriodicSite, Lattice

sites = [
    PeriodicSite(
        species=site.species,
        coords=site.coords,
        lattice=Lattice(self.cell),
        coords_are_cartesian=True
    ) for site in self.get_pymatgen().sites
]

And is probably cleaner than the if/else clause with the StructureData -> ASE -> StructureData -> Structure -> sites route for <3D structures.

As a final note, I know @unkcpz wants to avoid using ASE/pymatgen since these can be somewhat problematic dependencies (ASE because there are barely any releases, pymatgen since they often make breaking changes). But in the end I don't see a way to avoid using these tools, nor do I think it is desirable. That would involve reimplementing (and maintaining!) a lot of functionality ourselves.

I am a bit worried here, the habbard_info is bind with the original structure. But the current_structure will then be a primitive structure.

I think it will be more proper that there will be a get_primitive_structure method for HubbardStructureData and hubbard_info is always attached with the corresponded structure.

Just passing by: be very aware that getting a primitive structure would mean to also transfer the hubbard parameters CORRECTLY, e.g. in case of extended Hubbard parameters. This is still not implemented in e.g. HubbardUtils, for which there is a method that is only tested for supercells. And indeed, this way would most certainly set WRONG hubbard parameters for the primitive structure, where the order of atoms might change, as well as the number, and considering different lattice parameters this is a recepy for disaster. As such, is it REALLY necessary to have a primite structure? If not, then it would be wiser to just skip this if uncertain on what it is doing.

Unfortunately, the primitive_structure can be different from the current_structure. The issue is that the hubbard parameters are defined on top of the current_structure, and you cannot pass such parameters as they are to the primitive_structure.

Simple example where this implementation wouldn't work. Say you have a current_structure with 4 atoms, namely Fe, Fe, O, O. Let them be ordered in the current_structure.sites, so that current_structure.sites[0] corresponds to the first Fe and so on. Now, the hubbard datastructure would save the hubbard parameters using the indices to define the parameters, hence U(Fe)=5.0 will be defined by the tuple (0,'3d',0,'3d',(0,0,0), 5.0), for instance. Let's assume that you also have a U parameter on all the other atoms, meaning also the oxygen would have e.g. (2,'2p',2,'2p',(0,0,0), 8.0). If now your primitive_structure, being primitive, is smaller than the current_structure, meaning e.g. it has only Fe,O in its sites attribute (because the other two atoms of the current_structure are symmetry equivalent), than you see that you cannot pass anymore the hubbard information, as you don't have anymore an index 2 in primitive_structure.sites. Moreover, even if you still have the same number of sites, it's not granted that the order of the atoms (in the sites) will be the same as in the current_structure, and the hubbard parameters would be wrongly assigned in this naive way. Not to speak when one has an intersite interaction, e.g. (0,'3d',2,'2p',(1,1,1), 8.0), where (1,1,1) is the translation vector defined with respect to the current_structure cell and not to the primitive_structure one, hence completely breaking the intersite information.

Hope this clarifies that it's not as trivial as it seems to transfer such parameters. I suggest you to look into the implementation, and e.g. have a look to aiida_quantumespresso.utils.hubbard and in particular to the HubbardUtils.get_hubbard_for_supercell method, to see how the reindexing can be far from trivial.

This said, probably it would be just easier to just skip the use of a primitive_structure, which should not be strictly necessary for having an electronic band structure.

From the docstring of seekpath_structure_analysis, it says the calcfuntion will "Primitivize the structure with SeeKpath". Can you test on a conventional cell with the code you implement and see if the hubbard structure is changed and still valid to conform with the hubbard_info.
As I know, the band structure should be conduct on the primitive cell to avoid the band folded in BZ, and that is the reason the result['primitive_structure'] is used.

@unkcpz Indeed when using seekpath and generating a primitive_structure , we CAN'T use hubbard_info. Is also quite tricky to generalize it since the HubbardStructureData can have hubbard_parameters for DFT+U, DFT+U+V (onsites and intersites parameters). It requires a method to generalize the manifold to apply it on a primitive_structure

Then can you make it except when the scenario happened? If I understand correctly, with your implementation, if I run the band on the supercell with hubbard turned on, it will raise in some place that the calculation will fail. Can you try to add a validation and notify user about it.

I would opt for placing this in the HubbardUtils, so that we can reuse the logic elsewhere.
The logic for U seems fine, for V unfortunately it's more complex. Moreover, the initialize_intersites_hubbard is not really meant for this, but one should use the append_hubbard_parameters one. The difficulties are the following:

  1. The number of atoms in the unitcell are greater than the primitive, hence the indices won't be the same
  2. The V interaction is specific to a pair of atoms, that's why the initialize_intersites_hubbard is not suited for this
  3. One needs to find the translation vectors and the corresponding atoms by symmetry in the primitive cell

A good proxy for testing is to use the HubbardUtils.get_hubbard_for_supercell once you have the new paramters in the primitive. The routine should take the unitcell as input, and the returned hubbard_structure should have the same hubbard parameters as the original.

Please, have a look into HubbardUtils.get_hubbard_for_supercell to understand the logic. Probably it would be sufficient to copy/paste this routine and adapt the logic for the primitive cell. The current method wouldn't work as the primitive cell is smaller, hence the translation vectors would be fractional, and the logic doesn't account for this. One would probably need to use the inverse cell of the primitive, so to "restore" integer translations.

Thanks @AndresOrtegaGuerrero. As @bastonero already mentioned, I think for intersite Hubbard parameters it's not so trivial to correctly preserve the parameters for the primitive structure provided by SeeK-path (see comments).

To still allow the user to find the standardized path in the intersite V case, we should see if we can't fully preserve the structure and have SeeK-path return the corresponding path. You'd have to see if this is possible, maybe touch base with @giovannipizzi on the topic.

I've had a closer look, and I'm wondering if the current approach is correct. As @bastonero mentions here, primitivizing a HubbardStructureData and correctly passing the parameters can be quite challenging.

After a bit of testing, it seems SeeKpath does respect the kinds when primitivizing (makes sense, also e.g. for magnetic runs this would be critical):

from aiida import orm, load_profile
from ase import build
from aiida_quantumespresso.calculations.functions.create_magnetic_configuration import create_magnetic_configuration
from aiida.tools.data.array.kpoints import get_explicit_kpoints_path

load_profile()

conv = orm.StructureData(ase=build.bulk('Co', crystalstructure='fcc', a=5.43, cubic=True))
new_struc = create_magnetic_configuration(conv, [0, 0, 1, 1], metadata={'store_provenance': False})['structure']
get_explicit_kpoints_path(new_struc)['primitive_structure'].kinds

So for onsite parameters (U) your approach should work fine, as defining different U parameters for two sites would require different kinds as well, and I think your approach works as intended.

For intersite (V) parameters, I'm quite sure the current approach is incomplete. Admittedly, I'm not very experienced with these calculations, so having @bastonero's input would be great. As a basic test, I was curious what would happen if I took an example structure which is already primitive and use the new seekpath_structure_analysis. Here is the Hubbard card before:

HUBBARD	ortho-atomic
 V	Ni-3d	Ni-3d	1	1	9.6168
 V	Ni-3d	N-2p	1	3	1.034
 V	Ni-3d	N-2p	1	69	1.034
 V	Ni-3d	N-2p	1	51	1.034
 V	Ni-3d	N-2p	1	78	1.034
 V	Ni-3d	Ni-3d	2	2	9.5156
 V	Ni-3d	N-2p	2	3	1.1805
 V	Ni-3d	N-2p	2	45	1.1805

and after:

HUBBARD	ortho-atomic
 V	Ni-3d	Ni-3d	1	1	9.6168
 V	Ni-3d	N-2p	1	3	1.034
 V	Ni-3d	Ni-3d	1	1	9.5156
 V	Ni-3d	N-2p	1	3	1.1805

Which now seems to define a different V interaction for the exact same pair of sites, so something seems wrong here. I think the issue is that the kinds are no longer enough to capture the pair of sites to which apply the V. You'd at least have to use the atom indices, and those aren't even enough because you can have a different intersite interaction with the same site in different neighboring cells (defined via the translations). So this is a whole other ball game.

So maybe for now it'd be best to only support onsite interactions?

I guess for V, we will need to check distancee between index of atoms , and them compare and find the distance of the Hubbard(inital) to find which atoms in the primitive have the same distance to assign the new V, and in this case we shouldnt use initialize_intersites_hubbard, since the Hubbard you provide in your example considers a different V depending on the distance

Would the distance between sites be sufficient? Can't there be two pairs of atoms that have the same distance but a different intersite V? In that case we'd have to check that the primitivization respects each V pair, not just within the unit cell using the atom index, but also the neighbors via the translations.

and in this case we shouldnt use initialize_intersites_hubbard, since the Hubbard you provide in your example considers a different V depending on the distance

Indeed, append_hubbard_parameter would allow you to specify the atom/site indices and translation.

Indeed append_hubbard_parameters is suited for that. You can avoid to specify the translation, and the routine will find the image of the V atom closest to the U atom, i.e. its neighbour. I bet this is sufficient, so one doesn't have to specify the translation vector, which would be messy.
Also note: the indices should be given within primitive cell, so one should get from the seekpath analysis the mapping between atom indices from unit cell to primitive cell, so that for each HubbardParameter you can map the indices correspondingly.
Nevertheless, a better logic that also is able to specify the exact translation vector would be better. As I already suggested, one could follow the logic of the routine I implemented in HubbardUtils.

As already mentioned, this structure seems excessively large for this test. Besides this, I'd like to see more tests that the primitive structure has the correct Hubbard parameters. If there is a bug here, other users might start mindlessly using the seekpath_structure_analysis calculation function and not notice that the resulting HubbardStructureData has incorrect parameters.

Currently, you're only really testing the case where all the sites of the same element have the same kind name. I'd still want to make sure the current approach works for the case where e.g. there are two Co kinds with different U values. You wouldn't need such a large cell for this, a simple conventional FCC Co structure would to the trick.

They should only really be different in case the structure is different. I'd also like to see that the parameters are the same when the structure is the same. In many cases I'm running an already primitivized structure, so running SeeKpath would not change the structure (this isn't always true, there can be cell rotations).

Again, I think this is only really testing the onsite case. To check if the seekpath_structure_analysis works in all cases, we'd have to be much more rigorous.

Unfortunately, the primitive_structure can be different from the current_structure. The issue is that the hubbard parameters are defined on top of the current_structure, and you cannot pass such parameters as they are to the primitive_structure.

Simple example where this implementation wouldn't work. Say you have a current_structure with 4 atoms, namely Fe, Fe, O, O. Let them be ordered in the current_structure.sites, so that current_structure.sites[0] corresponds to the first Fe and so on. Now, the hubbard datastructure would save the hubbard parameters using the indices to define the parameters, hence U(Fe)=5.0 will be defined by the tuple (0,'3d',0,'3d',(0,0,0), 5.0), for instance. Let's assume that you also have a U parameter on all the other atoms, meaning also the oxygen would have e.g. (2,'2p',2,'2p',(0,0,0), 8.0). If now your primitive_structure, being primitive, is smaller than the current_structure, meaning e.g. it has only Fe,O in its sites attribute (because the other two atoms of the current_structure are symmetry equivalent), than you see that you cannot pass anymore the hubbard information, as you don't have anymore an index 2 in primitive_structure.sites. Moreover, even if you still have the same number of sites, it's not granted that the order of the atoms (in the sites) will be the same as in the current_structure, and the hubbard parameters would be wrongly assigned in this naive way. Not to speak when one has an intersite interaction, e.g. (0,'3d',2,'2p',(1,1,1), 8.0), where (1,1,1) is the translation vector defined with respect to the current_structure cell and not to the primitive_structure one, hence completely breaking the intersite information.

Hope this clarifies that it's not as trivial as it seems to transfer such parameters. I suggest you to look into the implementation, and e.g. have a look to aiida_quantumespresso.utils.hubbard and in particular to the HubbardUtils.get_hubbard_for_supercell method, to see how the reindexing can be far from trivial.

This said, probably it would be just easier to just skip the use of a primitive_structure, which should not be strictly necessary for having an electronic band structure.

inputs = {
'reference_distance': self.inputs.get('bands_kpoints_distance', None),
'metadata': {
'call_link_label': 'seekpath'
}
}
result = seekpath_structure_analysis(self.ctx.current_structure, **inputs)
self.ctx.current_structure = result['primitive_structure']

I would opt for placing this in the HubbardUtils, so that we can reuse the logic elsewhere.
The logic for U seems fine, for V unfortunately it's more complex. Moreover, the initialize_intersites_hubbard is not really meant for this, but one should use the append_hubbard_parameters one. The difficulties are the following:

  1. The number of atoms in the unitcell are greater than the primitive, hence the indices won't be the same
  2. The V interaction is specific to a pair of atoms, that's why the initialize_intersites_hubbard is not suited for this
  3. One needs to find the translation vectors and the corresponding atoms by symmetry in the primitive cell

A good proxy for testing is to use the HubbardUtils.get_hubbard_for_supercell once you have the new paramters in the primitive. The routine should take the unitcell as input, and the returned hubbard_structure should have the same hubbard parameters as the original.

Please, have a look into HubbardUtils.get_hubbard_for_supercell to understand the logic. Probably it would be sufficient to copy/paste this routine and adapt the logic for the primitive cell. The current method wouldn't work as the primitive cell is smaller, hence the translation vectors would be fractional, and the logic doesn't account for this. One would probably need to use the inverse cell of the primitive, so to "restore" integer translations.

Indeed append_hubbard_parameters is suited for that. You can avoid to specify the translation, and the routine will find the image of the V atom closest to the U atom, i.e. its neighbour. I bet this is sufficient, so one doesn't have to specify the translation vector, which would be messy.
Also note: the indices should be given within primitive cell, so one should get from the seekpath analysis the mapping between atom indices from unit cell to primitive cell, so that for each HubbardParameter you can map the indices correspondingly.
Nevertheless, a better logic that also is able to specify the exact translation vector would be better. As I already suggested, one could follow the logic of the routine I implemented in HubbardUtils.

Lol, I had a huge review with all the comments that nobody was seeing. That's why nobody was replying to those comments

Haha, I read "let's have a quick one", then saw the massive review and almost fell out of my chair. 🤣

Now working on #1007, will consider your comments there, but we already agreed that we'd stick to the onsite case for now.

The `append_hubbard_parameter()` method of the `HubbardStructureData` class currently
does not verify that the `atom_index` and `neighbour_index` values correspond to valid
site indices in the structure. This means that the method will:

- fail in case `translation` is set to `None` (as it attempts to access these site indices to obtain
  the distance and image of the nearest neighbour using periodic boundary conditions)
- succeed in case the translation is specified, but fail once the code tries to write Hubbard card
  during the `prepare_for_submission` method of the `PwCalculation`.

To have more consistent behaviour and avoid exceptions during the `upload` step of the
submission process, we check here that the `atom_index` and `neighbour_index` are valid and raise
a `ValueError` if they are not.
The `HubbardStructureData.append_hubbard_parameter()` method currently fails for
structures that don't have 3-dimensional periodic boundary conditions. This is caused
by a restriction in the StructureData.get_pymatgen_structure()` method, which raises a
`ValueError` if the periodic boundary conditions are not (True, True, True). This has
been fixed in a recent commit on `aiida-core`:

aiidateam/aiida-core@adcce4b

But this will take some time to be released and would restrict our compatibility to
`aiida-core>=2.6.0`.

Here we directly construct a list of `PeriodicSite` objects from the `sites` list of the
object obtained from `StructureData.get_pymatgen()`, which can be both either a
pymatgen `Structure` or `Molecule`, depending on the dimensionality of the structure.
