# Dataset Name
Silica Allegro 15000K
### Description
DFT reference dataset for an Allegro machine-learned interatomic potential for silica (SiO2) valid up to 15000 K, spanning the high-temperature melt, melt-quench amorphization, and mechanical-deformation regimes. The configurations were selected by HYAL active learning - an Allegro/LAMMPS sampler proposing structures of alpha-quartz, beta-cristobalite, coesite, and amorphous silica across an initial set and melt, high-temperature melt, melt-quench, and mechanical shear/tension sampling stages - and each was then labeled with a single-point VASP calculation (roughly 2780 successfully labeled configurations with total energies, atomic forces, and stresses). Calculations used VASP 6.3.2 with the r2SCAN meta-GGA functional (PAW_PBE potentials), a 1000 eV plane-wave cutoff, an electronic convergence of 1e-6 eV, Gaussian smearing (ISMEAR=0, SIGMA=0.1 eV), and Gamma-point Brillouin-zone sampling; each r2SCAN calculation was preceded by a PBE pre-convergence step. The resulting Allegro potential was used to study dynamic fracture and energy dissipation in silica glass. Configuration sets group the data by silica system (quartz, cristobalite, coesite, amorphous).

# Usage
- `ds.parquet` : Aggregated dataset information.
- `co/` directory: Configuration rows each include a structure, calculated properties, and metadata.
- `cs/` directory : Configuration sets are subsets of configurations grouped by some common characteristic. If `cs/` does not exist, no configurations sets have been defined for this dataset.
- `cs_co_map/` directory : The mapping of configurations to configuration sets (if defined).
