Charge Density

Obtaining the charge density shown on the Materials Project (MP) website.

Charge density data is obtained directly from the CHGCAR files that are output by our static DFT calculations. For more detailed information about this data see the VASP wiki.

An isosurface visualization of the charge density can be found on the material details pages. To obtain the full set of volumetric data for a given material the API should be used.
