Active Learning: Ru/H Part 3, Gas Snapshots

Continue the Ru/H workflow by generating gas-phase and interface snapshots, replaying them with the reference method, and adding the results to the training data. Run parts 1 and 2 first.

Construct the Ru(10-10)/H2(gas) interface

For details about the construction of the slab, see the previous notebook.

optimized_bulk = ri.job_collection["hcp_lattopt_Ru_dft"].molecule
slab_100 = slice_slab(

Now use the packmol_slab function to add hydrogen molecules:

from scm.plams import packmol_on_slab

h2_mol = plams.from_smiles("[HH]")
density = 0.3  # approximate density of the gas phase in g/cm^3
slab_100_H2_gas_raw = packmol_on_slab(slab_100, h2_mol, density=density)
slab_100_H2_gas = plams.preoptimize(

)
plams.plot_molecule(slab_100_H2_gas, rotation=rotation, radii=0.8)
