This tutorial is aimed at developers who would like to develop workflows with Jobflow. This could include contributions to atomate2 and quacc. Jobflow workflows can also be executed with Fireworks on Supercomputers.
This tutorial includes information on how to write a job for jobflows, how to connect jobs to a workflow including dynamic features and how to store job results in databases. The structure of the workflow is inspired by workflows that have been developed for atomate2 and quacc.
This tutorial is also connected to google collab so that you can execute the code via their services.

Talk about my recent research on data-driven chemical understanding with geometrical and quantum-chemical bonding analysis.
Invited for this month’s cover are researchers from Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing) in Germany, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Université catholique de Louvain, University of Oregon, Science & Technology Facilities Council, RWTH Aachen University, Hoffmann Institute of Advanced Materials, and Dartmouth College. The cover picture shows a workflow for automatic bonding analysis with Python tools (green python). The bonding analysis itself is performed with the program LOBSTER (red lobster). The starting point is a crystal structure, and the results are automatic assessments of the bonding situation based on Crystal Orbital Hamilton Populations (COHP), including automatic plots and text outputs. Coordination environments and charges are also assessed. More information can be found in the Research Article by J. George, G. Hautier, and co-workers.
Automation simplifies the use of computational materials science software and makes it accessible to a wide range of users. This enables high-throughput calcula-tionsand makesiteasier for non-specialists to enter computational materials science. However, in-creasing automation also poses threats that should be considered while interacting with automated procedures.
Developments in density functional theory (DFT) calculations, their automation and therefore easier access to materials data have enabled ab initio high-throughput searches for new materials for numerous applications. These studies open up exciting opportunities to find new materials in a much faster way than based on experimental work alone. However, performing density functional theory calculations for several thousand materials can still be very time consuming. The use of, for example, faster chemical heuristics and machine-learned interatomic potentials would allow to consider a much larger number of candidate materials. In addition to DFT based high-throughput searches, the seminar will discuss two possible ways to accelerate high-throughput searches.
Using data analysis on the structures and coordination environments of 5000 oxides, we were able to investigate a chemical heuristic – the famous Pauling rules – regarding its usefulness for the fast prediction of stable materials.
We have also investigated how machine-learned interatomic potentials can be used to accelerate the prediction of (dynamically) stable materials. The use of these potentials makes vibrational properties accessible in a much faster way than based on DFT. Our results based on a newly developed potential for silicon allotropes showed excellent agreement with DFT reference data (agreement of the frequencies within 0.1-0.2 THz).
In addition, we have successfully used high-throughput calculations in the search for new candidate materials for spintronic applications and ferroelectrics
