How to Request materials project to compute electronic structure calculations

Dear users and developers,

I would like to know if there is a way to request Materials project to compute the electronic structure of some materials for which it has not been calculated.

For example, in the case of mp-32873, the structure is available in the database, however the electronic structure section displays:

We have not yet calculated a detailed bandstructure for this material

I would like to know if there is a way to force materials project to compute the electronic structure of such cases either through the website or through MPRester.

Thanks a lot.

Hi George,

we are in the process of calculating all missing band structures but the queue is long and computing resources limited :slight_smile: Prioritizing which band structures to calculate first based on user voting has been a feedback from our recent workshop. We’re currently working on employing the mechanism used to prioritize elastic tensor calculations to band structure calculations as well. We hence hope to provide this feature to our users soon. Stay tuned :slight_smile:

best,
Patrick
